PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Adolescent intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major public health problem in the United States. More than 60% of adolescents aged 12-18 in relationships report experiencing IPV (physical, sexual, and/or psychological abuse). Given the widespread prevalence and associated adverse outcomes, states are actively engaged in primary prevention strategies for reducing IPV, including the enactment and implementation of IPV laws. These state laws, which are rapidly expanding across the country, have the potential to alter the social context in which IPV occurs by encouraging or requiring school districts to adopt prevention education curricula and policies for addressing IPV. Such policies include definitions, training requirements for teachers and staff, and reporting procedures. Currently, 19 states have passed laws encouraging or mandating school IPV policies. Despite these laws gaining momentum in the past decade, there is a paucity of research examining the effectiveness of state laws and how schools implement policies to meet states’ legal mandates. The objectives of the proposed research in this Pathway to Independence Award are to determine if state IPV laws reduce the prevalence of adolescent IPV victimization and to assess if and how high schools implement these laws adequately. The specific aims are to: 1) estimate the effectiveness of state IPV laws on reducing the prevalence of adolescent IPV; 2) assess the implementation of IPV laws and the relationship between school IPV policies and IPV outcomes at the school-district level; 3) identify barriers and facilitators to implementing IPV policies in high schools; and 4) develop, refine, and test the feasibility and acceptability of a toolkit for implementation of IPV legislation in high schools. This study will provide the largest and most comprehensive evaluation of state IPV legislation to date. Findings will provide critical data on the effectiveness of school IPV policies in preventing adolescent IPV and actionable evidence for policy makers and agencies responsible for carrying out IPV policy implementation. To acquire the necessary skills to accomplish this project, I will receive training in three critical areas: 1) health policy and advanced econometrics; 2) implementation science; and 3) qualitative methods. I will also engage in professional development, extend my professional networks, and further develop my grant writing and oral presentation skills. I have assembled an interdisciplinary mentorship team with expertise in public health, medicine, public policy, law, and education to ensure completion of the proposed research and training plan and a successful transition to independence. This Pathway to Independence Award will enable me to develop into an interdisciplinary, independent investigator who examines the causes and consequences of IPV at the individual level and assesses how multilevel policies and interventions can prevent adolescent IPV.

项目摘要/摘要 青少年亲密的伴侣暴力（IPV）是美国60％以上的主要公共卫生问题。 在人际关系中年龄12-18岁的青少年报告经验IPV（身体，性和/或心理学 滥用）。 减少IPV的主要预防策略 各国迅速扩展的州法律有可能改变社会背景 IPV通过鼓励或要求学区采用预防教育课程和政策来实现IPV 解决IPV。 程序目前。 在过去十年中，法律获得势头，研究国家的有效性很少 法律及学校如何暗示托梅特州的法律要求。 这项通往独立途径的研究是确定州IPV法律是否降低了流行率 青少年的IPV受害，并评估高中是否充分实施这些法律 具体目的是：1）估算降低青少年患病率的国家IPV法律的有效性 IPV; 2）评估学校IPV政策和IPV之间的隐含 学校的成果 - 3）确定IPV政策的障碍和促进者 学校和4）开发，完善和测试工具包实施的可行性和可接受性 高中的立法。 迄今为止的立法将提供有关有效的IPV政策的关键数据 青少年IPV和负责执行IPV政策的政策制定者和机构的可行证据 实施。要获得完成该项目的必要技能 区域：1）卫生政策和进口科学； 3）定性方法 还从事专业发展，扩展了我的专业网络并进一步发展我的赠款写作 和口头表现技巧。 健康，医学，公共政策，法律和教育，以确保拟议的研究和培训的竞争。 计划并成功过渡到独立之途径。 发展为跨学科的独立知识者，研究了IPV的原因和后果 在个人层面上，并评估了多层次的政策和国际如何制定青少年IPV。
