However, knowledge gaps exist regarding FSI prevalence rates and the association between FSI, violence experiences, and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) cascades (awareness, access and uptake) among displaced AGYW in…

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…

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…
