Methods: The National Survey of Children's Exposure to Violence data set (N = 1,705) was used which includes telephone interviews conducted with an adult caregiver (usually a parent) about one child randomly selected from all eligible children living in a household. If the selected child was 10-17 years old, the main telephone interview was conducted with the child. Results: Sibling victimization rates were 37.6% for the full sample, peaking at 45% for the 2-5 year olds and 46% for the 6-9 year olds. Rates were higher for males, whites, and those who were closer in age to their sibling.
