What this research studies
This research focuses on addressing the high rates of intimate partner violence (IPV) among teens who are pregnant or parenting. It aims to adapt an existing program called Safe Dates for Teen Mothers for virtual delivery, allowing participants to engage in group sessions online. The program will incorporate themes relevant to pregnancy and parenting while addressing barriers to seeking help for IPV. By utilizing a virtual platform, the study seeks to improve accessibility and effectiveness of IPV prevention for this vulnerable population.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are pregnant or parenting teens who may be experiencing or at risk of intimate partner violence.
Not a fit: Patients who are not pregnant or parenting teens, or those who do not experience intimate partner violence, may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly reduce the incidence of intimate partner violence among pregnant and parenting teens, improving their health and well-being.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success with similar IPV prevention programs, but this adaptation for virtual delivery is a novel approach.
