Purpose
This study assesses the role of gender norms on the relationship betwixt adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and peer-violence perpetration among very immature adolescents in iii urban poor cities of Indonesia.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted in Bandar Lampung, Denpasar, and Semarang in Republic of indonesia. A total of 2,974 participants (boys: 44.79%, girls: 55.21%) between ten and xiv years were included in the analysis. Logistic regression, mediation, and moderation analyses were conducted stratified by sex.
Results
Risk factors of peer-violence perpetration amid boys and girls included three (boys: adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.51, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.32–iv.75; girls: aOR 1.82, 95% CI .95–3.52) and four or more than (boys: aOR six.75, 95% CI 3.86–11.80; girls: aOR 5.37, 95% CI iii.07–9.37) history of ACE. Take a chance factors of peer-violence perpetration amidst boys included having inequitable sexual double standard (SDS) indices (aOR 1.46, 95% CI 1.09–1.95). SDS measures the perception boys are rewarded for romantic relationship date, whereas girls are stigmatized or disadvantaged for the experience. Other risk factors included lifetime tobacco utilise amongst boys and girls and lifetime booze use among boys. Protective factors included parental closeness among girls.
Conclusions
Based on the research in three Indonesian communities, this written report demonstrates that boys are disproportionately exposed to adversities including history of ACE, inequitable SDS, lifetime booze use and tobacco use in comparison to girls. Programs targeting ACE and gender norms which appoint boys, girls, and families are more probable to exist successful in reducing peer-violence perpetration and promoting gender equitable norms.

Implications and Contribution
This study provides increased evidence for the relationship betwixt peer-violence perpetration and adverse childhood experiences among young adolescents in Republic of indonesia. Although unequal gender norms increase peer-violence perpetration among boys, they do not mediate/moderate the relationship between adversity and male aggression. Interventions reducing male person aggression should be supplemented with trauma-informed care.

One written report, designed to develop a mensurate of ACE for young adolescents beyond LMICs reported 33% and 46% higher odds of peer-violence perpetration among boys and girls exposed to ACE; the small sample size of adolescents in the fourteen sites surveyed prevented a more than thorough investigation of the upshot of ACE on violence perpetration or the factors that may mitigate this adventure [

] simply has not been thoroughly investigated in relation to other forms of violence, including peer-violence perpetration especially among very young adolescents (VYAs) stratified by sex. Nosotros examine these associations amongst boys and girls separately as some studies conducted in loftier income settings propose stronger associations betwixt ACE and violent behaviors among girls [
]. Additionally, previous studies in high income settings have demonstrated that boys take a significantly higher proportion of perpetrating violence, whereas girls take a college prevalence of being victims of violence [

We appraise if this relationship is mediated or moderated by caitiff gender norm perceptions (as measured by the sexual double standard [SDS] and gender stereotypical trait [GST] scales) (Appendix ane), while accounting for sociodemographic factors, family relations, and substance use found to be related to bullying and violence in previous studies [

], practice Hinduism, and work in the service industry. Bandar Lampung is the uppercase of Lampung Province and has a multiethnic population of 885,363 people, including 41% Javanese [
]. Virtually of the population is Muslim, and its economy is split between farming, manufacturing, and retail-wholesales activities. Semarang, located in the province of Central Java is home to 930,727 habitants, mostly Javanese [
]. A majority of the population is Muslim, and its economy relies on manufacturing and retail-wholesales. In terms of gender development, Denpasar is characterized by the highest Gender Evolution Index at .960, followed by Semarang at .957, while Bandar Lampung falls behind at .937.
Data source
The present analysis draws on baseline data collected in all iii sites in 2019. All sites shared the same study protocol and survey instruments. The study received ethical approval from the Universitas Gadjah Mada in Republic of indonesia and approval for secondary data analysis from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Institutional Review Lath.
Participants and study size
Rutgers Republic of indonesia and the regional International Planned Parenthood Foundation chapter identified eligible adolescents through school-based sampling, by purposively selecting 18 schools to serve every bit intervention and comparison schools. The intervention (Semangat Dunia Remaja or Teen Aspirations, SETARA) is a comprehensive sexuality pedagogy curriculum for middle schoolhouse students designed by Rutgers Indonesia. Schools were selected based on the following criteria: nonreligion and public, serving low income populations, absenteeism of concomitant health programs, and prior partnerships with the regional International Planned Parenthood Foundation chapter. GEAS youth enumerators invited the parents of all seventh graders to school to receive information virtually SETARA and the iii waves of GEAS to evaluate students' health condition every bit well as the issue of SETARA, and to seek their consent for their children's participation in SETARA and GEAS. All students from seventh course classes in the selected schools were eligible to participate. Invitations were extended to 5,283 students of whom 241 refused participation, and 5,042 completed the interview. Withal, 256 interviews were excluded due to poor quality (>15% of missing information) and 467 were excluded due to missing information on peer-violence perpetration question or ACE (>25% missing = 627), gender norm perception measures (n = 434), or other confounders (n = 284) resulting to a final analytical sample of two,974 (44.79% boys and 55.21% girls). Participants who were excluded were more likely to be boys, from Bandar Lampung, from less wealthy households, and subject to less parental monitoring.
Information collection
The baseline survey was conducted between August and October 2018. Adolescents self-completed a structured questionnaire via computer-assisted personal interview, which solicited information on sociodemographic characteristics, family unit and peer relations, school and neighborhood characteristics, media use, perceptions of gender norms, agency, physical, mental and sexual health, equally well as violence experiences in the class of ACE and peer-violence perpetration. The survey instrument [

Variables
The dependent variable was peer-violence perpetration based on two questions: (1) During the final half-dozen months, take you lot bullied or threatened another boy or girl for whatsoever reason? and (2) During the concluding 6 months, have you slapped, hitting or otherwise physically hurt another male child or daughter in a way that they did not want? A binary variable was created combining responses to the 2 questions into a single measure. More than four-out-of-five respondents indicated that they had neither bullied nor perpetrated peer-violence in the previous six months.
The principal independent variable, ACE, was based on a 13-item measure out adapted from the original Center for Illness Control-Kaiser ACEs Study with modifications from the APHRC measure that had been previously administered in the slums of Nairobi [

Intervening variables based on the socioecological model and the literature included site (Bandar Lampung, Denpasar, and Semarang), age (x–12 years, 13–fourteen years), educational attainment (lower than age expected grade and historic period expected grade or higher), lifetime booze use (yes or no), and lifetime tobacco use (yes or no). We besides considered family factors including household composition (no parent, single parent, and both parent household), household wealth tertiles, parental closeness (assessed past the question: "exercise y'all experience shut to your main caregiver? By close, we mean you talk to that person and tell them about personal and important things" and dichotomized yes or no), parental awareness/monitoring (assessed past caregiver's knowledge of: adolescents' friends, school operation, and general whereabouts and dichotomized yes or no), and site (Bandar Lampung, Denpasar, and Semarang).
Analysis
Nosotros conducted bivariate analysis to specify the associations between peer-violence perpetration, ACE and gender norm perceptions, and the associations betwixt gender norm perceptions and ACE. Given the absenteeism of site-specific differences in associations between ACE and peer-violence perpetration, we combined data from all iii sites for analysis. Analyses were stratified past sex to account for potential differences in the determinants of ambitious behaviors between boys and girls. The multivariable logistic analysis first assessed the relationship betwixt ACE and peer-violence perpetration by sex. We and so conducted a mediation assay, using the STATA "medeff" control and "bootstrap" choice with 1,000 replications, to evaluate the extent to which gender norms perceptions (SDS and GST) mediated the relationship between ACE and peer-violence perpetration. Mediation was only assessed if the following three weather were met: (1) ACE was significantly related to peer-violence perpetration, (two) ACE was significantly related to gender norm perceptions, and (three) gender norm perceptions were significantly related to peer-violence perpetration. Mediation analysis was just conducted for the relationship between ACE, SDS, and peer-violence perpetration amidst boys and was non statistically significant (mediation: iv.62%, 95% confidence interval [CI] −80.15% to 87.91%). Additionally, we assessed whether gender norm perceptions moderated the association between ACE and peer-violence perpetration, by testing for interactions in the adjusted logistic regression models. All analyses were conducted using Stata 14.ii [
].
Results
Characteristics of the sample
Table 1 shows the sociodemographic characteristics of the sample. Overall, there was an equal distribution of boys and girls across the three cities. The hateful age of the report sample was 12.one years and 98.66% were at the appropriate grade-for-age. Boys were slightly older than girls (12.2 vs. 12.one years, p < .001), less probable to be in the appropriate form level (97.81% vs. 99.41%, p ≤ .001), and live with neither parents (5.03% vs. 3.05%, p = .016). A majority felt shut to their caregiver (89.17%), with no meaning departure by sex. Girls were more than likely to be closely monitored past their parents (70.83% vs. 59.98%, p ≤ .001). Few adolescents reported using any substance, although these behaviors were more than common among boys than girls: half dozen.08% of boys versus .97% of girls ever drank booze (p ≤ .001) and 16.59% of boys versus 1.10% girls reported ever smoking (p ≤ .001).

Less than one in five adolescents reported no history of ACE while almost a third were exposed to four or more than ACE (Table one). Boys were more likely to report any ACE exposure (84.01% vs. 79.84% for girls) and to be poly-victimized of four or more than ACEs (38.74% reported four or more ACEs vs. 28.xiv% of girls). Overall, 17.52% of the participants stated they had perpetrated peer-violence in the terminal 6 months, with boys more likely to engage in this behavior than girls (24.17% vs. 12.12%; p ≤ .001).
Bivariate associations between gender norm perceptions and agin childhood experience
Adolescents who reported no exposure to ACE were more likely to hold gender equal norms than peers who sustained childhood adversities (Table two). Thus, depending on the number of ACEs reported by boys, the proportion of boys scoring to a higher place the median (corresponding to more diff norms) ranged from 47.42% to 61.82% on the SDS scale, and from 48.36% to 66.28% on the GST scale every bit the number of ACEs increased. Besides, the proportion of girls scoring above the median (respective to more than unequal views) ranged from 45.32% to 58.44% on the SDS scale, as the number of ACEs increased.

Bivariate associations between agin childhood experience, gender norm perceptions, and peer-violence
The proportion of peer-violence in the last 6 months increased significantly with the number of ACEs amongst boys, ranging from 7.51% among those with no exposure to 40.70% among those exposed to four or more ACEs (Tabular array 3). The corresponding figures for girls ranged from four.83% to 24.89% (Table 3). Perpetration of peer-violence was also associated with adolescent boys' perceptions of gender norms. Boys who perceived more gender equitable views every bit measured by the SDS and GST were less probable to report perpetrating peer-violence compared to those who had less equitable views (Tabular array 3). We found no similar associations among girls.

Multivariable association between adverse childhood experience, gender norm perceptions, and peer violence
In the multivariable analysis (Table four), ACE remained associated with peer-violence perpetration for both boys and girls, with odds of perpetration increasing more than ii-fold amidst boys who experienced two and 3 ACEs respectively (adapted odds ratio [aOR] 2.79, 95% CI 1.46–5.32 and two.53, 95% CI 1.34–4.79), and rising to half dozen.95 (95% CI 3.98–12.12) among boys who had exposure to four or more ACEs. Similarly, though somewhat weaker statistical associations were constitute amidst girls, who had 1.87 times the odds of peer-violence perpetration when exposed to iii ACE (95% CI .97–3.threescore) and 5.l times (95% CI iii.15–nine.58) when exposed to 4 ACEs or more. These associations remained significant and virtually unchanged when adjusting for gender norms perceptions, with no significant divergence in the effect of ACE on peer-violence perpetration between boys and girls. Gender norm perceptions did not moderate the human relationship betwixt ACE and peer-violence perpetration (examination of interaction p value = .5 for boys and .6 for girls) but diff perceptions of SDS were independently associated with peer-violence perpetration amid boys but not girls (aOR i.46, 95% CI 1.09–1.95). Other factors associated with greater peer-violence perpetration included tobacco use among boys and girls and alcohol employ amongst boys. Parent closeness was associated with lower odds of peer-violence perpetration for girls simply not boys.

Our results indicate that adolescents living in urban poor communities in Indonesia face high levels of peer-violence perpetration when poly-victimization in the form of 4 or more ACEs has been experienced. The association between ACE and peer-violence perpetration was not amplified past young people'south perceptions of unequal gender norms although boys who perceived an SDS had increased odds of perpetrating peer-violence. These findings showing the relationship betwixt peer-violence perpetration and ACE accept been shown in previous studies conducted in high income settings [
,
].
Our results bear witness that boys are significantly more exposed to childhood adversities than are girls and may in part explain the sex differences that are seen in peer-violence perpetration. Previous literature has shown the relationship between ACE and other forms of violence including violence against women and interpersonal violence, with the perspective that males/boys are perpetrators and women/girls are victims [
,
]. Withal, we see that boys are victims every bit well as perpetrators in our study. The increasing risk of aggression with cumulative ACE exposure was similar for boys and girls, in contrast with previous studies that take suggested that overall, girls take a lower risk for violence perpetration just exposure to emotional and concrete abuse during childhood increase their risk for violence perpetration in the time to come [
]. However, this finding was limited to a sample in the U.S. and the predictor was kid maltreatment divers by physical abuse, neglect, sexual abuse, and emotional and psychological abuse [
]. Other studies take either found no differences by sex or a greater risk of violence perpetration for boys [
].
Consequent with studies linking hegemonic forms of masculinity to violence perpetration [
,
], we constitute that more unequal perceptions of an SDS correlated with increased peer-violence perpetration for boys. Surprisingly, the same was not true for stereotypical gender traits portraying boys as tough and girls equally weak. This finding highlights the multifaceted nature of gender norm perceptions, which are not necessarily consequent across domains, and accept dissimilar implications for different spheres of life [

]. This may also be due to the fact that we did not explore young peoples' perceptions of interpersonal and gender-based violence acceptance in their milieu; the Republic of indonesia Demographic and Health Survey 2017 found that justification for wife beating is highest amidst both young men and women aged 15–19 compared to older reproductive age groups [

]. Another report conducted in the U.Southward. investigated the relationship between neighborhood disadvantage, cultural norms, and abuse-violence human relationship among youth [
]. This report plant similar results to our written report by demonstrating that neighborhood cultural norms did non moderate the abuse-violence relationship, but had a direct touch on on violence [
].
Although there have been no nationally representative studies on norms and credence of peer-violence and the reasons behind such violence in Indonesia, ethnographic studies among schoolboy gangs suggest that young men justify peer-violence to establish and defend honor, respect, and hierarchy, to testify solidarity, but also merely for fun [
,
]. Bullying in school is often trivialized by both students and teachers, arguing that bullying was mostly "just for fun" [

]. A 2008 national written report among eighth graders in Indonesia constitute that more than than x% of students reported that they were "made to do things that I did't want" and were "left out of activities past other students," and that a higher proportion of male students reported these two types of bullying in comparison to female students [
]. School bullying is also normalized as, until recently, information technology was a tradition in many middle and high schools in Republic of indonesia to initiate the freshmen class with a weeklong hazing. The need to assert power and gain affiliation within peer network and the schoolhouse climate that condones bullying might be the more relevant influences than gender diff attitudes on peer-violence amongst adolescents.
Limitations
Outset, this is a cross-sectional study which affects the power to make up one's mind causality. Subsequent analysis, using the longitudinal design of the GEAS study should provide more insights on the furnishings of ACE on peer-violence perpetration and other forms of violence over time. Second, gender norms were only captured through the SDS and GST measures, which limit the power to thoroughly sympathize the influence of gender norms and customs acceptance of violence on individual behaviors. 3rd, the mensurate of peer-violence perpetration was limited to two questions which might not adequately capture a broader range of peer-violence, including social bullying. Fourth, the sensitive nature of request about both ACE and violence may take led to social-desirability bias; however, the questionnaire was self-completed and confidential, reducing this potential consequence. Fifth, there was a lack of information about timing, frequency, and severity of both ACE and peer-violence perpetration. Sixth, the sample sizes were relatively small-scale when because sex stratified assay of peer-violence perpetration in relation to number of ACEs, leading to large CIs. Finally, the generalizability of these findings is limited to the sites in Indonesia where the study was conducted.
Despite these limitations, this report is one of the outset to appraise the moderating function of gender norms on the human relationship betwixt ACE and peer-violence perpetration among early adolescents living in an LMIC settings. Nosotros used validated measures of gender norms perceptions and ACE, developed and tested during the extensive formative phase of the GEAS [
,
,
]. We likewise compared these processes among girls and boys, who accept dissimilar patterns of exposures and behaviors with respect to adversities and violence, shedding lite on the consequences of ACE on boyish wellness behaviors for both sexes.
Our findings have of import programmatic implications, highlighting the need to support young people who face adversities at a young historic period. Gender transformative interventions that challenge notions of hypermasculinity may reduce overall levels of male person aggression, only practise not accost how babyhood adversities link to subsequent assailment. Such approaches demand to exist supplemented with trauma-informed care, to accost the specific psychological and social needs of adolescents who face adversities.
Conclusion
Based on the research in 3 Indonesian communities, this study demonstrates that boys are disproportionately exposed to adversities including history of ACE, inequitable SDS, lifetime alcohol employ and tobacco use in comparison to girls. However, it is unclear to what extent these exposures explain the higher rates of peer-violence perpetration by boys than girls. The results demonstrate that the relationship between exposure to childhood adversities are associated with peer-violence perpetration, as reported previously within literature in high income settings [
,
]. Programs targeting ACE and gender norms which engage boys, girls, and families are more than probable to be successful in reducing peer-violence perpetration and promoting gender equitable norms.
