 Definition of teen dating violence (TDV)  Prevalence  Consequences  Dating it Safe  TDV and the school nurse  Clinical signs  Ethical considerations Objectives 1.Identify the prevalence, course, and consequences of teen dating violence 2.Describe the relevance of dating violence to adolescent health 3.Recognize the importance of screening for, timely management, and prevention of teen dating violence OVERVIEW

 Pattern of abusive behaviors that are used to gain power and control over a current or former dating partner. The four types of dating violence include:  Psychological/emotional/verbal DV includes abusive or bullying behaviors with the intent of degrading, intimidating, and controlling an intimate partner  Physical DV includes a range of violent behaviors from pushing, shaking, and hitting to even more severe acts such as choking, burning, stabbing, or shooting.  Sexual DV includes any sexual activity (touching, oral, vaginal, anal) performed without consent, and ranges from unwanted kissing to rape.  Includes reproductive coercion  Cyber abuse does not appear to be a distinct form of abuse, but rather a vehicle used to perpetrate physical, psychological, and sexual DV. Follingstad et al (2005); Temple et al (2013); Zweig et al (2013) WHAT IS TDV

 1 in 4 adolescents will experience some form of dating violence  1 in 10 will experience severe physical dating violence  Higher rates observed in regional and at-risk samples  38% (boys) to 57% (girls) of teens are victims of dating physical violence  4%-10% forced rape; 50% sexual coercion. PREVALENCE

MEDICAL/PEDIATRIC SETTINGS?  Pediatric Emergency Room  Erickson et al., 2010: 37% (n=246) of girls between the ages of 15 and 21 were victimized by physical violence in their dating relationship.  Carroll et al., 2011: 55% (n=327) of adolescents between the ages of 13 and 21 reported physical and/or sexual TDV victimization; 59% reported perpetration.  Miller et al., 2010: 40% (n=448) of adolescent girls between the ages of 14 and 20 reported a lifetime history of physical or sexual TDV.

WHO IS AT RISK  Everyone  Males and Females  Equal rates; unequal consequences  Race/Ethnicity and SES  Heterosexual and Homosexual relationships

MOST AT RISK  More prevalent in youth:  With history of prior TDV  Exposed to community or interparental violence  Who engage in other high-risk behaviors such as substance use and risky sexual behavior  With symptoms of depression or anxiety  Irregular medical care histories

 Low self-esteem/relationship self-efficacy  Stress  Poor school performance  Psychopathology  PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance use, disordered eating, suicidal ideation, and panic disorders are all much more prevalent among TPV victims than their nonabused counterparts  Physical health  Acute injuries  Chronic pain  Sexual abuse can lead to STD’s, unwanted pregnancies, increased risk for miscarriages. CONSEQUENCES OF TDV

 Accumulating evidence suggests that individuals who experience TDV in their adolescent relationships are more likely to perpetrate IPV in their adult intimate relationships Gidycz, Warkentin, & Orchowski, 2007; O’Leary, Malone, & Tyree, 1994; Stith, Smith, Penn, Ward, & Tritt, 2004; Smith, White, & Holland, 2003; White & Smith, 2009 TDV  IPV

 Psychological health (depression)  Child abuse  Witnessing family of origin violence  Bullying/sexual harassment/general violence  Substance use  Risky sexual behavior  Attitudes supportive of violence  Jealousy  Violent peers PREDICTORS OF TDV

 Efficacy is limited  Target risk and protective factors that may or may not predict whether a teen ends up in an unhealthy relationship  Many suffer from inefficient use of resources, are not cost-effective, and lack feasibility EXISTING PREVENTION PROGRAMS

 6-year longitudinal study of the risk and protective factors of teen dating violence  School-based recruitment and data collection  ~70% response rate  4 years of data collected (>80% retention rate across all 4 waves)  Waves 5 and 6 to be conducted over the next 2 years DATING IT SAFE

RISK AND PROTECTIVE FACTORS

Slightly more than half of adolescents who perpetrated TDV at baseline reported past year TDV at follow-up, relative to only 11% of adolescents who did not report perpetrating TDV at baseline.

TEMPLE ET AL., 2013

WITNESSING PARENTAL IPV  Examine the role of exposure to father-to-mother and mother- to-father violence in predicting teen dating violence (TDV) perpetration.  For adolescent girls, there was an association between interparental violence (father-to-mother and mother-to-father) and TDV perpetration (physical and psychological).  For adolescent boys, only an association between mother-to- father violence was related to their TDV perpetration.  Further, for both girls and boys, the relationship between mother-to-father violence and perpetration of TDV was fully explained by attitudes accepting of violence.  These results suggest that attending to gender and targeting adolescents’ attitudes about violence may be viable approaches to preventing TDV. Acceptance of TDV Witnessing IPV TDV perpetration

TEMPLE ET AL., 2013

 Use of alcohol and hard drugs at baseline predicted future physical TDV perpetration, even after accounting for the effects of baseline TDV perpetration and exposure to interparental violence.  Despite differences in prevalence of TDV and substance use between males and female, the longitudinal associations did not vary by gender  Findings from the current study indicate that targeting substance use, and potentially youth from violence households, may be a viable approach to preventing the perpetration of TDV IMPLICATIONS

What does this all mean for tween- and teen-focused health care providers

 Clinical Signs  Physical signs of injury  Problems at school (especially if new)  Poor self-esteem (especially if new)  Changes in mood or personality  Teen pregnancy:  Adolescents in violent relationships are more likely to become pregnant  Pregnant adolescents may be at heighted risk of experiencing TDV.  Confuse jealousy with love  Technology often used as a vehicle for abuse  Adolescents not likely to disclose TDV to adults  Ashamed  Afraid of getting hurt  Being made to break up  Punished  Previous disclosure met with apathy CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS

 Importance of screening  Regardless of history, informs the student that you are someone they can turn to if they end up in a violent relationship (or when they are willing to discuss violence in their current relationship)  Necessary initial step for intervention to occur.  Barriers for health care professional  Fear of opening Pandora’s Box  Time and available resources  Screening measures too cumbersome  Can include a few questions on intake questionnaire  Ask patients if they’re in a dating relationship  Ask if they ever feel threatened  Ask if any of their friends experience dating violence (easy way to introduce the topic)  Now what? SCREENING

 Prior to knowing:  Create a supportive and comforting environment  Make TDV information visible (hotline information, posters, and brochures about TDV)  Preventative  Lets adolescents know that this is a safe topic to discuss  Create a protocol for your school/clinic (information and referral resources)  Develop relationships with women’s centers, psychologists, legal aid, substance abuse treatment centers, etc. and know their capacity to handle TDV victims and perpetrators  Familiarize yourself with national organizations that provide supportive care for adolescents in violent relationships PREVENTION

 Reading, (w)Riting, (a)Rithmetic, and…  RELATIONSHIPS  21 lesson curriculum divided into 3 units with the unifying theme of healthy relationships  Violence  Healthy sexuality/sexual behavior  Substance use FOURTH R (WOLFE ET AL., 2009)
