South African adolescents experience a high prevalence of violence victimization alongside the health and economic burdens of HIV/AIDS and poverty. Polyvictimization is a useful theory and framework that allows for a nuanced understanding of lived adolescent experience patterns. Polyvictimization examinations are further enriched by person-centered analytical approaches. This study used latent class analysis to differentiate a sample of South African adolescents from highly deprived communities by their polyvictimization profiles and contextual violence risk and protective factors. Adolescents were sampled twice (2010/2011; 2011/2012), and data reflected their lifetime (sexual abuse) or recent (all other forms of assessed abuse/violence) violence victimizations, as well as individual, household, and community characteristics. Model fit indices supported a seven-class model with adolescents in high, moderate, and low polyvictimization classes. Adolescents in the high polyvictimization classes experienced a heavy burden of poverty and multiple forms of violence across contexts and were distinguished by HIV/AIDS and disability. Adolescents in the low polyvictimization class experienced relatively little violence, despite living in violent communities, and low household and individual burdens of HIV/AIDS and disability. Findings emphasize the importance of considering adolescent violence through a contextually sensitive polyvictimization lens to understand the complex web of violence that adolescents experience. This work supports previous research in low-resource South African settings highlighting the interconnected nature of violence, poverty, disability, and HIV/AIDS. Future research should explore these complex violence patterns and their effects, while program and policy actions must target and prevent adolescent violence especially for those impacted by poverty, disability, and HIV/AIDS.

对多重受害现象进行情境敏感的理解：对来自高度贫困环境的南非青少年的暴力、风险和保护的潜在阶级分析

南非青少年普遍遭受暴力侵害，同时还承受着艾滋病毒/艾滋病和贫困的健康和经济负担。多重受害是一个有用的理论和框架，可以让我们对青少年的生活经历模式有细致入微的了解。以人为本的分析方法进一步丰富了多重受害调查。这项研究使用潜在类别分析，根据多重受害情况以及背景暴力风险和保护因素，将南非青少年样本与高度贫困社区区分开来。对青少年进行了两次抽样（2010/2011 年；2011/2012 年），数据反映了他们一生（性虐待）或近期（所有其他形式的评估虐待/暴力）暴力受害情况，以及个人、家庭和社区特征。模型拟合指数支持七类模型，其中青少年分为高、中、低多重受害类别。多重受害率高的青少年承受着沉重的贫困负担和多种形式的暴力，并以艾滋病毒/艾滋病和残疾为特征。尽管生活在暴力社区，且家庭和个人的艾滋病毒/艾滋病和残疾负担较低，但多重受害率较低阶层的青少年遭受的暴力相对较少。研究结果强调了通过情境敏感的多重受害视角来考虑青少年暴力的重要性，以了解青少年经历的复杂的暴力网络。这项工作支持了先前在南非资源匮乏地区的研究，强调了暴力、贫困、残疾和艾滋病毒/艾滋病之间相互关联的性质。未来的研究应探讨这些复杂的暴力模式及其影响，而计划和政策行动必须针对和预防青少年暴力，特别是那些受贫困、残疾和艾滋病毒/艾滋病影响的青少年。
