Abstract Adolescents in South Africa may experience violence victimizations many forms (abuse, bullying, assault) and across contexts (home, school, community). Polyvictimization is a valuable framework to examine the diversity of adolescents’ lives, particularly when employed alongside person-centered methods such as latent class analysis. This study builds on previous work examining contextually sensitive patterns polyvictimization among African adolescents uses longitudinal Young Carers data (n = 3401) from highly-deprived, low-resource settings investigate associations between profiles physical mental health outcomes using Bolck–Croon–Hagenaars (BCH) method. Key results found that who experienced high contextual factors (poverty, disability, etc.) had greater odds suicidality higher scores for depression anxiety measures than their peers moderate or low polyvictimization. These were often worse within classes those participants experiencing burdens HIV/AIDS disability. Results mixed (chronic condition; recent poor health) distinguishing classes, some characterized by decreased outcomes. findings highlight need consider relevant risk factor addressing well-being needs adolescents. Health programming policy efforts should seek screen address causes distress targeting provide cohesive response adolescent communities.
