The Alverno College Research Center for Women and Girls generates and applies scholarly research, develops curricula, and conducts program evaluation and outreach for the purpose of supporting, transforming, and inspiring initiatives to improve the lives of women and girls in the state of Wisconsin and beyond. Our intention is for our publications to be used by educators, community organizations, businesses, and government officials to raise awareness, identify solutions, change attitudes and practices, and develop public policy both locally and nationally. This publication provides an overview of teen dating violence, which has become a public health concern. We offer a glimpse into this complex issue, including factors that contribute to the problem and the effects of this violence. We also focus heavily on prevention and intervention strategies, including specific action items for adults concerned about teens and teenage friendsstrategies that have been shown to be effective in reducing teen dating violence.
