Bullying experiences of youth with neuromuscular disorders and their well-being: A survey study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: Bullying is a widespread problem in Canada and throughout the world. Children and youth with chronic illnesses or physical disabilities are more likely to be targets of bullying of all kinds. However, there is a paucity of research about bullying involving youth with neuromuscular disorders. The study aimed to assess the prevalence of bullying in youth with neuromuscular disorders and how bullying rates impact their quality of life and well-being. METHODS: An online survey was administered at a single timepoint to youth with a neuromuscular disorder. The survey captured data about demographics, bullying frequency, quality of life, and emotional well-being. Descriptive statistics summarized demographic and bullying data. Spearman rank correlations measured the relationships between bullying prevalence and quality of life/well-being. RESULTS: Twenty-nine participants completed the survey (22 male; mean age = 13 years, 10.8 months (SD = 2 years, 10.8 months). Twenty-four of 29 participants (82.8%) had been bullied at some point in their life. Participants reported being bullied most frequently for their appearance and their disability. Bullying did not correlate with quality of life and well-being. CONCLUSIONS: Participants with neuromuscular disorders reported high rates of bullying without impacts on quality of life and well-being. We posit participants exhibit resilience.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
