Long-term Adverse Outcomes Associated With Teen Dating Violence: A Systematic Review

Long-term Adverse Outcomes Associated With Teen Dating Violence: A Systematic Review, in Pediatrics

key takeaway: "Findings showed that TDV in adolescence was associated with future teen dating and intimate partner violence in adulthood. Studies also indicated that TDV was longitudinally associated with increasing high-risk behaviors (i.e., marijuana and alcohol use) and poor mental health outcomes (particularly for victimization). There was unclear evidence on the longitudinal link between TDV and suicidal attempts. Significant associations between TDV and negative outcomes were reported more frequently among females compared with males."
