Childhood exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) has increasingly been studied as a distinct form of child maltreatment with negative outcomes that can last well beyond childhood. The purpose of this study is to examine teen dating violence (TDV) involvement among adolescents who were exposed to IPV in early childhood while controlling for other known risk factors of TDV. We analyze longitudinal data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study to investigate the relation between early childhood IPV exposure (Years 1 and 3) and involvement in TDV (Year 15), controlling for parenting behaviors (Year 5), early onset delinquency (Year 9), and other sociodemographic characteristics (baseline). IPV exposure significantly increased TDV involvement, particularly for physical abuse and economic abuse (effect sizes of 0.34 and 0.15, respectively). Based on these findings, providers should implement frequent, comprehensive prenatal and perinatal IPV screenings, referring patients to community services as needed. Also, school-based interventions that promote healthy relationship skills may be targeted to adolescents with early IPV exposure.

越来越多的儿童暴露于亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）被研究为一种独特的虐待儿童形式，其负面结果可能会持续到童年之后。本研究的目的是检查在儿童早期接触 IPV 的青少年中青少年约会暴力 (TDV) 的参与情况，同时控制其他已知的 TDV 风险因素。我们分析来自脆弱家庭和儿童福利研究的纵向数据，以调查儿童早期 IPV 暴露（第 1 年和第 3 年）与参与 TDV（第 15 年）、控制育儿行为（第 5 年）、早发性犯罪（第9）和其他社会人口学特征（基线）。IPV 暴露显着增加了 TDV 的参与，特别是对于身体虐待和经济虐待（效应大小为 0.34 和 0.15，分别）。根据这些发现，提供者应实施频繁、全面的产前和围产期 IPV 筛查，并根据需要将患者转诊至社区服务。此外，促进健康关系技能的基于学校的干预措施可能针对早期接触 IPV 的青少年。
