This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victims of teen dating violence (TDV) in the United States engage in risk behaviors that increase their vulnerability to ill health. Although teen dating violence affects millions of adolescents of diverse ethnic backgrounds, there is a higher prevalence of TDV among Blacks and Latinos. In order to develop effective interventions for diverse populations, it is critical to understand the risk behaviors associated with different victims of TDV. The purpose of this thesis is to determine whether there is a difference between the risk behaviors (alcohol abuse, illegal drug use and perilous sexual intercourse) engaged in by Black, Latino and White adolescent victims of TDV. The national 2005 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) was the source of data. This thesis hypothesizes that there are different risk behaviors related to each ethnic group, and aims to provide information to support the development of culturally competent TDV interventions.

Book Synopsis Teen Dating Violence Victimization and School Outcomes by : Bernadette K. Ombayo
Download or read book Teen Dating Violence Victimization and School Outcomes written by Bernadette K. Ombayo and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TDV is a significant social problem that has adverse effects on teens' health-related behaviors and academic achievement. Several studies have examined the association between TDV and health-related behaviors, and TDV and school outcomes separately. However, only one qualitative study explored the relationship among TDV victimization, health-related behaviors, and school outcomes. There is a need for more studies that examine TDV victimization, health-related behaviors, and school outcomes factors interrelate among high school youth. The purpose of this study is to explore risk factors of TDV, examine the moderating effect of gender or ethnicity on the relationship between TDV victimization and school outcomes, and explore the mediating effect of health-related behaviors on the relationship between TDV victimization and school outcomes. Data from the 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) was used. The CDC collects data biennially on risk behaviors among high school youth across the U.S. using the YRBS. This study used multiple imputation to handle missing data. Bivariate analyses included correlations, T-tests, Chi-squares, and logistic regression in SPSS to explore the relationships between the variables. Process MACRO 3.3 was used to conduct moderation and mediation analyses. The sample was comprised of 14,765 high school students. Most participants were 16 to 18 years and older (61.9%). 51.4% of the sample were female; 91.4 % of participants reported that they engaged in at least one or more sexual risk behaviors. Seventy percent of the teens were -others (i.e., White, Multi-racial, Asian, Alaskan-Native, American Indian, and Hawaiian), 19.4% were Black/African-American, and 10.6 % were Hispanic. Thirty-seven percent of participants reported difficulty concentrating in school. Participants reported average grades of 3.39 with the majority of students reporting As (28.9%) and Bs (29.7%) and having substance use of 1.12 on a scale of zero (no substance use) to four (higher levels of substance use). Results indicated that being a younger, female, non-Hispanic, and involving in sexual risk behaviors were risk factors for TDV victimization. Second, neither gender nor ethnicity moderated the relationship between TDV victimization and school outcomes. Finally, physical activity and sleep were mediators of the relationship between TDV victimization and school outcomes. These findings indicate that health-related behaviors are at the center of TDV victimization and academic achievement. School-based TDV prevention programs should include content on the importance of physical activity and sleep in their curricula when addressing healthy relationships. This study calls for multidisciplinary collaborations to address this social problem.
Book Synopsis Teen Dating Violence In The Latino Community by : Laura Mercado

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Teen dating violence has been a topic of interest lately due to the increase in its prevalence rate especially among Latino adolescents. Dating violence takes three major forms, namely physical, sexual, and psychological abuse. This project sought to explore the challenges associated with teen dating violence among Latino teens. The review of the literature utilized a vast array of information such as secondary statistical data, documented interviews, peer reviewed articles and insight from experts. There is evidence to suggest plausible correlations between background, socioeconomic status, social environment, and drug abuse. An intervention was created to educate Latino youth on teen dating violence and offer support to prevent abuse from occurring and/or continuing."--Abstract, p. 1.
Book Synopsis Programs to Reduce Teen Dating Violence and Sexual Assault by : Arlene N. Weisz
Download or read book Programs to Reduce Teen Dating Violence and Sexual Assault written by Arlene N. Weisz and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2009-05-05 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arlene Weisz and Beverly Black interview practitioners from more than fifty dating violence and sexual assault programs across the United States to provide a unique resource for effective teen dating violence prevention. Enhancing existing research with the shared wisdom of the nation's prevention community, Weisz and Black describe program goals and content, recruitment strategies, membership, structure, and community involvement in practitioners' own words. Their comprehensive approach reveals the core techniques that should be a part of any successful prevention program, including theoretical consistency, which contributes to sound content development, and peer education and youth leadership, which empower participants and keep programs relevant. Weisz and Black show that multisession programs are most useful in preventing violence and assault, because they enable participants to learn new behaviors and change entrenched attitudes. Combining single- and mixed-gender sessions, as well as steering discussions away from the assignment of blame, also yield positive results. The authors demonstrate that productive education remains sensitive to differences in culture and sexual orientation and includes experiential exercises and role-playing. Manuals help in guiding educators and improving evaluation, but they should also allow adolescents to direct the discussion. Good programs regularly address teachers and parents. Ultimately, though, Weisz and Black find that the ideal program retains prevention educators long after the apprentice stage, encouraging self-evaluation and new interventions based on the wisdom that experience brings.
Book Synopsis Teen Dating Violence by : Rochelle L.. Rowley
Download or read book Teen Dating Violence written by Rochelle L.. Rowley and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the research on teen dating violence has attempted to take the ideas associated with adult domestic violence and intimate partner violence and apply it to teen relationships. This research was conducted to discover the underlying dimensions of teen relationships and the violence that exists in these relationships in order to provide a conceptual idea of who should be targeted, with what information, and at what age with prevention efforts aimed at reducing teen dating violence. Wichita Kansas has implemented a variety of prevention and intervention strategies aimed at reducing the prevalence of teen dating violence in the community for almost a decade. Participants in this study were recruited from 6th through 10th graders who were scheduled to receive intervention curriculum in their schools. Several items from the General Youth Relationship Survey-Student Version (Hertzog, Matson, & Rowley) were analyzed using factor analysis to discover the underlying dimensions of teen dating violence. Physical/emotional abuse, monitoring and controlling behaviors, and relational entitlements were the key dimensions gleaned from this analysis. An examination of the factor score means with several student characteristics were also analyzed. Girls were found to witness more teen dating violence in their friend's relationships as well as hold more agreement with relational entitlements than boys. African American teens were more likely to report witnessing teen dating violence than Hispanic or white teens; however, Hispanic teens were more likely to report that a person has certain relational entitlements over their partner. This study also found that, in order to provide actual prevention, efforts should be targeted towards late elementary to early middle school-aged students.

Book Synopsis Dating Violence Victimization and Associated Risk Behaviors of 9th Through 12th Grade High School Students by :
Download or read book Dating Violence Victimization and Associated Risk Behaviors of 9th Through 12th Grade High School Students written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teenage dating violence (TDV) is a significant public health problem. The 2011 Youth Risk Behavior survey found that 9.4% of students in the United States reported that they had been hit, slapped, or physically hurt on purpose by their boyfriend or girlfriend. The purpose of this study was to examine teenage risk behaviors and their association with dating violence victimization. Also further investigating if there is a relationship between an outcome of teen dating violence and the number of risk behaviors that a teenager is involved in. Using the 2011 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) a cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between risk behaviors and youth dating violence victimization of 9th through 12th grade high school students. The final multivariate logistic regression model showed alcohol use, smoking, condom use and ethnicity were associated with teenage dating violence victimization. After adjusting for alcohol use, smoking, marijuana use and ethnicity, students who had sexual intercourse during the past three months and they or their partner used a condom during last sexual intercourse [OR=3.010, CI (2.512, 3.606)] as well as those who did not use a condom during last sexual intercourse [OR=5.690, CI (4.672, 6.929)] were significantly more likely to be victims of teenage dating violence than those students who had never had sex. Without adjusting for any other covariates, students who indicated that they had participated in 1 of the risk behaviors (alcohol use, smoking, marijuana use, sex with a condom) at the time of the YRBS were significantly more likely to be victims of teenage dating violence [OR=2.516, CI (1.736, 3.645)] than those students who did not participate in any of the risk behaviors analyzed in this study. The risk behavior of sex without a condom had the strongest association with teenage dating violence victimization throughout the study. The results of this study have important implications for early identification of teens at risk of teenage dating violence (TDV) victimization.

Download or read book Adolescent Psychiatry written by Leo Sher and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-10-14 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychiatric disorders in adolescents are an important social problem which is relevant to almost all healthcare professionals. According to the results of The National Comorbidity Survey-Adolescent Supplement (NCS-A), the lifetime prevalence of anxiety, behavior, mood, and substance use disorders among adolescents was 31.9%, 19.1%, 14.3%, and 11.4%, respectively. Approximately 40% of participants in this survey with one class of disorder also met criteria for another class of lifetime disorder. Comorbidity is increasingly recognized as a key feature of mental disorders among adolescents. Female adolescents are more likely than males to have mood and anxiety disorders, but less likely to have behavioral and substance use disorders. Regretfully, medical professionals are not sufficiently trained about adolescent psychiatric disorders. For example, primary care providers correctly identify less than a fourth of youth with a depressive or anxiety disorder. Also, many clinicians underestimate the importance of the problem of adolescent psychiatric illnesses and suicidal behavior. Lack of skilled medical providers impedes the delivery of needed services to adolescents with mental health issues. This coupled with a lag in the ability of primary health care services to incorporate psychiatric interventions, and a failure of public health initiatives to pay attention to adolescent mental health problems has led to continuing gaps in care over decades despite the public pronouncements of needs. In this book you will find relevant information for health professionals, since we believe that the mental health of adolescents is essential for sustaining healthy and productive societies.
Book Synopsis Relations Between Childhood Violence Exposure and Dating Violence Victimization in Treatment Seeking, Low-income, Urban African American Girls by : Celia Liu
Download or read book Relations Between Childhood Violence Exposure and Dating Violence Victimization in Treatment Seeking, Low-income, Urban African American Girls written by Celia Liu and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exposure to violence in childhood is found to be a risk factor for dating violence victimization, but few studies have empirically examined mechanisms to help explain this link. The present study aimed to examine the potential mediating effect of mental illness in the pathway from childhood violence exposure to dating violence victimization in a sample of treatment seeking, urban adolescent African American girls. This study also examined different types of childhood violence exposure including both intra- and extra-familial violence and assessed how each type of violence exposure in childhood relates to revictimization through dating violence. Participants of current study were originally recruited from outpatient mental health clinics in Chicago, Illinois, as part of a longitudinal project on HIV risk behaviors, and have now been followed over six waves of data collection. This study focused on participants (N = 177) who completed wave six follow-up and conducted secondary analyses using data collected from wave one (baseline) and wave six to obtain information on childhood violence exposure history, mental health, and dating violence victimization. The results suggested that girls who reported dating violence victimization were significantly more likely to be exposed to violence early in life than those who did not report dating violence victimization. Moreover, girls experiencing home violence in childhood were nearly five times more likely to report being a victim of teen dating violence. Mediation analyses revealed a statistically significant indirect effect of childhood violence exposure on teen dating violence victimization through conduct disorder symptoms, but the indirect effects were not statistically significant through symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder or major depressive disorder. The current study broadens the understanding of risk factors for teen dating violence victimization and suggests that early violence exposure may result in the development of problem behaviors, which in turn ma)' lead to greater likelihood of victimization from dating partners. These findings are valuable in guiding treatment interventions and prevention programs for teen dating violence victimization, especially among low-income African Americans girls.

Book Synopsis Adolescent Risk Behaviors by : David A. Wolfe
Download or read book Adolescent Risk Behaviors written by David A. Wolfe and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the crucial role that relationships play in the lives of teenagers. The authors particularly examine the ways that healthy relationships can help teens avoid such common risk behaviors as substance abuse, dating violence, sexual assault, and unsafe sexual practices. Addressing the current lack of effective prevention programs for teens, they present new strategies for encouraging healthy choices. The book first traces differences between the “rules of relating” for boys and girls and discusses typical and atypical patterns of experimentation in teens. The authors identify the common link among risk behaviors: the relationship connection. In the second part of the book, they examine the principles of successful programs used by schools and communities to cultivate healthy adolescent development. An illuminating conclusion describes the key ingredients for engaging adolescents, their parents, teachers, and communities in the effort to promote healthy, nonviolent relationships among teens.
