A systematic review was conducted to examine the help-seeking intentions and behaviors of youth between the ages of 12 and 19 based on racial and ethnic differences. Considering the high prevalence of TDV among racially and ethnically diverse youth, previous systematic reviews have recommended that future scholarship address help-seeking intentions a…

Evaluations of teen dating violence (TDV) prevention programs demonstrate positive changes in youths’ knowledge, attitudes, and behavior. Less is known about youths’ satisfaction with TDV programming, especially among refugee youth. This study examines the satisfaction of an evidenced-based TDV program among Karen refugee youth (n = 14) who participated in a pilot st…

Teen dating violence (TDV) negatively impacts the health of youth in the United States and internationally, but we know little about dating violence among resettled refugee adolescents in the United States. We conducted a focus group with six Karen refugee youth to learn about dating practices and determine acceptability of a TDV prevention program curriculum, as a first step in addressing TDV in this community. Five themes emerged from the youth…
Graduating MSW Students' Recommended Interventions for Teen Dating Violence
Teen dating violence (TDV) is a widespread issue that social workers are likely to encounter in their practice with youth, yet little research exists concerning their preparedness to do so. This study assessed the proposed interventions of graduating MSW students (n=73) from two accredited universities in response to two scenarios of TDV. Each scenario reflected various forms of relational violence. Nearly one-third of students' proposed interven…
