Intimate Partner Violence and Depression Trajectories from mid-Adolescence to Young Adulthood
This study looks at how going through intimate partner violence affects the mental health of teens, especially in developing depression over time, and it’s for young people who want to understand how their experiences might shape their feelings as they grow up.

What this research studies
This research investigates how experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV) affect the mental health of adolescents, particularly focusing on the development of depression over time. By analyzing data from the NEXT Generation Health Study, which includes a diverse group of adolescents, the study aims to identify different patterns of IPV experiences and their relationship with depression. The research will also explore how various factors, such as age and race, influence these patterns. This longitudinal approach allows for a deeper understanding of how IPV impacts mental health from mid-adolescence into young adulthood.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are adolescents aged 12 to 20 who have experienced intimate partner violence.
Not a fit: Patients who have not experienced intimate partner violence or are outside the age range of 12 to 20 may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved interventions and support systems for adolescents experiencing IPV, ultimately enhancing their mental health outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown significant links between intimate partner violence and mental health issues, indicating that this approach is grounded in established findings.
