What this research studies
This research investigates the prevalence and consequences of dating violence among adolescents and young adults, focusing on both victims and perpetrators. By conducting a long-term study over several years, the research aims to identify risk and protective factors associated with dating violence, utilizing a diverse sample of participants. The study will gather data through multiple assessments, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of how dating violence impacts mental and physical health, as well as social behaviors. Participants will be followed over time to observe changes and trends in their experiences and outcomes related to dating violence.

Not a fit: Patients who are outside the age range of 12 to 20 or who have not experienced dating violence may not receive direct benefits from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved prevention and intervention strategies for dating violence, ultimately enhancing the well-being of adolescents and young adults.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that longitudinal studies can effectively identify trends and outcomes related to dating violence, suggesting that this approach may yield valuable insights.
