Victimization and mental health problems of children and adolescents are major concerns ofrnalmost all societies worldwide. Previous studies have documented the magnitudes of thernproblems of victimizations and mental health problems in children and adolescents. However, inrnmost cases those studies focused on few types of victimization and mental health problems.rnAccordingly, the major purpose of this study was to estimate prevalence of victimizations andrnmental health problems, identify factors that contribute to victimizations, and examine thernassociation between victimization and mental health problems of children and adolescents in thernelementary schools of Gondar town, North West Ethiopia. Analysis was made on a sample of 403rnchildren and adolescents, randomly drawn from the target population using stratified samplingrntechnique. Adapted measures of Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire (JVQ) and AchenbachrnSystems of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA) were employed to gather data onrnvictimization experiences and mental health problems respectively. Percentage was used torndetermine the prevalence of victimizations and mental health problems whereas series of logisticrnregression analyses were run to examine the contributions of independent victimizations for thernvarious dimensions of mental health problems of the respondents. The major findings indicaternthat nearly 80 % of the respondents experienced victimizations. The odds of males experiencingrnvictimization was found to be 2.41(95% CI=1.41-4.12) times more than females and thernprobability of the occurrence of any form of victimization was higher for those who came fromrnlow income families by 3.23 (95% CI =1.06-9.80) times than respondents from high incomernfamilies. The proportion of overall mental health problems among the respondents was 14.4%.rnChild maltreatment was found to be significantly contributing to manifestations of the symptomsrnof overall mental health and internalizing problems with odds ratios of 2.6 (95% CI=1.16-4.39)rnand 2.52 (95% CI=1.42-4.49) respectively. Conventional crime was significantly linked withrninternalizing problems with OR=.2.95 (95% CI=1.37-6.34). Furthermore, poly-victimizationsrnwere significantly associated with any mental health,X 2 (1,N=403)=17.02, p
