Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 0ZXdR0xP. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. We examined the associations between victimization, missed school because of feeling unsafe, and asthma episodes among US high-school students using the 2003 Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Cross-sectional analyses on adolescents with asthma (n=1943) showed that any victimization and missed school because of feeling unsafe significantly increased the odds of having an asthma episode in the past year (adjusted odds ratio [OR]=1.45 ; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.07,1.95 and adjusted OR=2.93 ; 95% Cl=1.90,4.53, respectively). Victimization and feeling unsafe are important but poorly understood risk factors for asthma.
