Teen dating violence (TDV) affects millions of youth in the United States and globally each year. A systematic review was conducted to examine the help-seeking intentions and behaviors of youth between the ages of 12 and 19 based on racial and ethnic differences. Considering the high prevalence of TDV among racially and ethnically diverse youth, previous systematic reviews have recommended that future scholarship address help-seeking intentions and behaviors among racially and ethnically diverse youth. The methodologies and results of TDV and help-seeking studies published since 2000 were reviewed and analyzed. A systematic search of peer-reviewed journal articles published in English was conducted using an electronic search. The rigorous search identified 10 studies that addressed help-seeking intentions and behaviors and racial and ethnic differences in youth meeting eligibility requirements. The search yielded few studies, indicating a need to conduct future research in this area. The strength of the studies’ methodologies limited generalizability and external validity. The studies primarily addressed differences among African American and Latino youth. Youth relied on informal sources of support, with youth from both groups preferring to seek help from parents and friends. Mistrust, lack of closeness, and feelings of mistrust, shame, and embarrassment informed youths’ help-seeking intentions and behaviors. Racially and ethnically specific factors such as negative perceptions of father figures, familism, acculturation, and traditional gender role notions were identified as barriers to help-seeking. As part of appraising and synthesizing the evidence, recommendations for research, practice, and policy are presented.

青少年约会暴力 (TDV) 每年影响美国和全球数百万青少年。进行了一项系统评价，以根据种族和民族差异检查 12 至 19 岁青年的求助意图和行为。考虑到 TDV 在种族和民族多样化的青年中的高流行率，以前的系统评价建议未来的学术研究解决种族和民族多样化青年的求助意图和行为。回顾和分析了自 2000 年以来发表的 TDV 和求助研究的方法和结果。使用电子搜索对以英语发表的同行评审期刊文章进行系统搜索。严格的搜索确定了 10 项研究，这些研究解决了符合资格要求的青年的求助意图和行为以及种族和民族差异。搜索产生的研究很少，表明需要在该领域进行未来的研究。研究方法的强度限制了普遍性和外部有效性。这些研究主要解决了非裔美国人和拉丁裔青年之间的差异。青年依靠非正式的支持来源，这两个群体的青年都更愿意寻求父母和朋友的帮助。不信任、缺乏亲密感以及不信任、羞耻和尴尬的感觉影响了青少年寻求帮助的意图和行为。种族和民族特定因素，例如对父亲形象的负面看法、家庭主义、文化适应、传统的性别角色观念被认为是寻求帮助的障碍。作为评估和综合证据的一部分，提出了研究、实践和政策建议。
