Background & Significance 85% of adolescents engage in intimate relationships One in three experiences teen dating violence (TDV) Among girls, the estimate is even higher at 65% Little is known about the biobehavioral impact of these experiences!

What is “biobehavioral impact”? The goal of the EMBODY study is to examine relationships among epigenetic alterations, acquired chromosomal changes, biologic stress measures, and biobehavioral characteristics in identical, female twin pairs who are discordant for an experience of TDV. EMBODY = Effect of Multiple factors in a Biobehavioral study Of Dating among Young women

Conceptual models: Chronic stress & allostatic loading

Sample and Methods Female, monozygotic (identical) twins ages 18-21 Recruitment via Mid-Atlantic Twin Registry Classical twin study design (discordant) Self-report instruments, serum sampling for biologic markers

Preliminary results…and a few pitfalls Mid-Atlantic Twin Registry: recruitment and subject identification “Airlock” system for contacting twins Difficulty identifying what “teen dating abuse” means Revised recruitment procedures Broader geographic base High prevalence of TDV in population

Findings 3 pairs of eligible twins (out of 15 planned) identified No major comorbidities Depression and anxiety prevalent Supports allostatic loading model Ongoing symptoms Cellular data...

Discussion Allostatic loading and…? Structural stress? Role of developmental “moment” and foregrounding of relationships Lifetime health & social impacts Reversibility? Plasticity? “Re-programming”?

Conclusions/Future directions Health related impact of TDV is similar to other abuse in several dimensions Relational development “moment” may increase the psychological burden Development of health relationship supports Screening and identification of affected women is critical to remediation of both physiologic & psychosocial (“biobehavioral”) effects

Ask, ask, and ask your colleagues to ask! And ask again….
