Adolescents in the United States are too often involved in relationships characterized by coercion and violence. An emerging body of research suggests that dating violence is linked with other health risks in adolescent relationships, particularly sexual risk behavior. The confluence of risks conferred by dating violence and sexual risk behavior are particularly acute for adolescent girls. Adolescent gynecology providers need to understand the nature of dating violence in adolescence and the ways in which dating violence and sexual risk behavior are mutually influential. This article reviews the literature on the links between dating violence and sexual risk in adolescent girls’ relationships. The prevalence, risk factors, and consequences of dating violence in adolescence are discussed, followed by a review of the research linking dating violence and sexual risk, with a focus on common mechanisms underlying these relationship risk behaviors. The review concludes with implications for screening, prevention, intervention, and future directions for research.

美国的青少年经常卷入以强迫和暴力为特征的关系。一项新兴的研究表明，约会暴力与青少年关系中的其他健康风险（尤其是性风险行为）相关。约会暴力和性风险行为所带来的风险合流对于少女尤为严重。青春期妇科医师需要了解青春期约会暴力的性质以及约会暴力和性风险行为相互影响的方式。本文回顾了有关青春期女孩关系中约会暴力与性风险之间联系的文献。讨论了青春期约会暴力的患病率，危险因素和后果，其次是对将约会暴力与性风险联系起来的研究的回顾，重点是这些关系风险行为背后的常见机制。审查总结了对筛选，预防，干预和未来研究方向的启示。
