DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Approximately 25% of US teens are physically, psychologically, or sexually abused by dating partners each year. Victims of dating violence experience a host of devastating consequences, including acute and chronic mental and physical health problems, suicide, delinquency, risky sexual behavior, substance abuse, and school failure. Moreover, individuals who perpetrate violence and sexual aggression in their adolescent relationships are at a heightened risk for continuing this behavior in their adult intimate relationships. Preventing this form of violence would not only improve the health and lives of adolescents, but it would have the potential to curb the prevalence and consequences of subsequent domestic violence. Despite these critical needs, theoretically driven and research-based prevention programs are conspicuously lacking, and the factors that increase or decrease the likelihood of adolescents experiencing dating violence are poorly understood. In addition, few data exist on how the different forms of dating violence develop over time. For example, does psychological abuse precede physical violence? Does physical violence precede sexual aggression? Developmental information would be invaluable in identifying youth at risk for dating violence and to ultimately prevent the occurrence and escalation of violent behavior. To address these questions and gaps in the literature, I propose to conduct a longitudinal study assessing dating violence perpetration and victimization, and modifiable risk and protective factors in adolescents from ethnically and socioeconomically diverse backgrounds. Participants will be recruited from standard and alternative high schools. Dating history, experiences with dating violence (perpetration and victimization), and potential modifiable risk and protective factors will be assessed at baseline, and 1 and 2 years thereafter. A total of 500 participants will be recruited, which will provide sufficient statistical power to achieve the primary aims of this study. The overall objectives of this K23 award are (1) to advance my knowledge of and expand my research into the area of violence prevention, and (2) to provide a sound foundation for developing a dating violence prevention program that will explicitly target identified risk and protective factors. The proposed research study will allow me to apply my current knowledge and skill base to learning the technical and practical issues related to prevention research so I can approach future research endeavors from a truly developmental perspective. RELEVANCE: Adolescent dating violence is an enormous public health concern, resulting in a host of acute and chronic mental and physical health problems. Consistent with a primary goal of Healthy People 2010, this study will identify predictors important in the onset and development of violent behavior among adolescents. Further, data obtained from this study will inform dating violence prevention and intervention efforts, with the ultimate goal of improving individuals' health and quality of life.

描述（由申请人提供）：大约25％的美国青少年每年通过约会伴侣在身体，心理或性虐待中。约会暴力的受害者经历了许多毁灭性的后果，包括急性和慢性心理和身体健康问题，自杀，犯罪，危险的性行为，滥用药物和学校失败。此外，在青少年关系中犯下暴力和性侵略的个人在成人亲密关系中继续这种行为的风险更高。防止这种暴力形式不仅会改善青少年的健康和生活，而且有可能遏制随后的家庭暴力的普遍性和后果。尽管有这些关键的需求，理论上驱动和基于研究的预防计划仍缺乏明显的预防计划，并且了解到约会暴力的青少年可能性增加或减少的因素知之甚少。此外，很少有关于随着时间的流逝如何发展的不同形式的约会暴力形式的数据。例如，心理虐待是否在身体暴力之前？身体暴力之前是性侵略吗？发展信息对于确定有暴力约会风险的年轻人并最终防止暴力行为的发生和升级将是无价的。为了解决文献中的这些问题和差距，我建议进行一项纵向研究，以评估暴力犯罪和受害，以及来自种族和社会经济背景的青少年的可修改风险和保护因素。参与者将从标准和替代高中招募。约会历史，约会暴力经验（犯罪和受害）以及潜在的可修改风险和保护因素将在基准时评估，此后1年和2年。总共将招募500名参与者，这将提供足够的统计能力来实现这项研究的主要目的。该K23奖的总体目标是（1）促进我对预防暴力领域的研究并将其扩展到预防暴力领域的知识，并为制定预防约会暴力计划的合理基础，该计划将明确针对确定的风险和保护因素。拟议的研究将使我能够将当前的知识和技能基础应用于与预防研究相关的技术和实际问题，以便从真正的发展角度来实现未来的研究努力。 相关性：青少年约会暴力是一个巨大的公共卫生问题，导致了许多急性和慢性的心理和身体健康问题。与2010年健康人的主要目标一致，这项研究将确定对青少年暴力行为的发作和发展重要的预测因素。此外，从这项研究中获得的数据将为预防暴力和干预工作的约会提供信息，最终目标是改善个人的健康和生活质量。
