Students who experienced high levels of peer incivility had lower mental health scores (P=.0002), lower physical health scores (P=.0069), and higher stress levels (P=.0016). Students who experienced incivility in the classroom had higher levels of peer incivility (P<.001) and lower physical health scores (P<.05).
