Introduction
Hazing describes practices or activities that can expose individuals to physical, psychological, social, or other forms of harm. From a medical perspective, responses to hazing-related harm can involve recognition of symptoms, assessment of immediate needs, psychological support, and appropriate clinical or community-based intervention. LaFerney’s identified 2016 contribution addresses the recovery of victims from psychological and physical harm, placing the subject within a broader healthcare context. [2]
