Notes:	Catalogue number: 82-003-SIE2003000 Based on data drawn from surveys and other sources in Canada, this article provides an estimate of children aged 4-7 who have witnessed, or continue to witness, violence in the home and assesses the extent to which witnessing violence is associated with overt aggression, indirect aggression and anxiety in this population group. A range of factors was considered as potentially contributing to and/or mediating the effects of witnessing violence on children’s development and behaviour, including family relations, parenting style, demographics and availability of support systems. The findings indicate the experience of witnessing violence is related to both short- and long-term behavioural and emotional problems, including aggression and anxiety. Limitations of the study and the specific methodologies, analytic techniques and data sources utilised are also identified.
