Abstract: Violence against adolescents aged 10–19 has adverse short-term and long-term impacts. Yet, there is a shortage of studies investigating violence against Indian adolescents. This study aimed to investigate the magnitude of violence against adolescents in India’s two most populous and socio-economically disadvantaged states, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. It also identified the risk factors of violence against adolescents.
