Questions and instructions

Question pretext

The next question asks about physical attacks. A
physical attack occurs when one or more people hit or strike someone, or when one or more people hurt another person with a weapon (such as a stick, knife, or gun). It is not a physical attack when two students
of about the same strength or power choose to fight
each other.

Literal question

During the past 12 months, how many times were you physically attacked?
