Introduction

Adolescent dating violence (ADV), including psychological, physical, threatening, and/or sexual abuse between adolescent romantic partners, is an epidemic in the United States, with youth report rates ranging from 15 to 77% for perpetration and 14–73% for victimization. ADV victimization is associated with multiple adverse outcomes in both adolescence and adulthood (e.g., suicidal ideation, substance use, bullying), as is ADV perpetration (e.g., sexually transmitted infections, intimate partner violence in adulthood). Given the high prevalence and profound impact of ADV on youth in the US, many prevention efforts have emerged in the past 20 years. Previous reviews of these efforts have focused primarily on school-based interventions or have broadly reviewed programs including all research design types and outcomes. This review is the first to provide a comprehensive, quantitative synthesis of all existing ADV prevention programs tested using randomized controlled trial designs with a control group, specifically measuring ADV perpetration and/or victimization as outcomes.

Methods

Employing a systematic literature search and screening protocol, nine studies were identified for meta-analysis.

Results

Results indicate that ADV prevention programs may decrease the risk of emotional, physical, and sexual perpetration, as well as emotional and physical victimization.

Conclusions

This is the first review to uncover significant intervention effects on the actual occurrence of ADV, with previous reviews only finding effects on outcomes such as ADV knowledge and attitude. Findings suggest that ADV prevention programs are promising and may warrant implementation more broadly with youth, and this review provides methodological suggestions for future research evaluating new ADV prevention programs.

评估青少年约会暴力预防计划的随机对照试验以减少实施和/或受害的结果：荟萃分析

介绍

青少年约会暴力 (ADV)，包括青春期浪漫伴侣之间的心理、身体、威胁和/或性虐待，在美国是一种流行病，青少年报告的犯罪率为 15% 至 77%，犯罪率为 14% 至 73%受害。ADV 受害与青春期和成年期的多种不良结果相关（例如，自杀意念、药物滥用、欺凌），以及 ADV 犯罪（例如，性传播感染、成年期亲密伴侣暴力）。鉴于 ADV 对美国青少年的高流行率和深远影响，过去 20 年中出现了许多预防工作。之前对这些努力的审查主要集中在基于学校的干预措施上，或者对包括所有研究设计类型和结果在内的项目进行了广泛审查。

方法

采用系统的文献检索和筛选方案，确定了九项研究进行荟萃分析。

结果

结果表明，ADV 预防计划可能会降低情绪、身体和性犯罪以及情绪和身体受害的风险。

结论

这是首次发现干预对 ADV 实际发生的显着影响的综述，之前的综述仅发现对 ADV 知识和态度等结果的影响。研究结果表明 ADV 预防计划很有前景，可能需要在青年人中更广泛地实施，本综述为未来评估新的 ADV 预防计划的研究提供了方法论建议。
