Going beyond the individual: The evidence supporting multilevel adolescent dating abuse prevention
Monday September 21, 2015
11am-12:30 pm Pacific Time
(2pm-3:30pm Eastern)
Interpersonal violence affects the lives of individuals, but have impacts for communities and society as well. Community- and societal-level factors can also contribute to adolescent dating abuse, sexual violence, and adult partner violence. Prevention practitioners have been encouraged to build multilevel prevention strategies to prevent these forms of violence, and some have been exploring new prevention strategies that go beyond creating change at the individual level only. The American Journal of Preventive Medicine has recently released a special issue titled “Beyond the Individual: Family, Neighborhood, and State-level Influences on Dating Violence examining approaches to adolescent dating abuse prevention at the community, neighborhood, and societal levels.” In this web conference, authors of three of the articles in that issue will share the findings of their work and explore implications for prevention practice. Join this conversation as we examine how research contributes to improving prevention practice.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this web conference, participants will be able to:
Summarize the research evidence that examines the association between neighborhood-level factors and dating violence among adolescents and emerging adults.
Identify contextual factors that may influence the likelihood of substance use related dating aggression.
Discuss the implications of the association of state-level indicators of gender inequality with the prevalence of adolescent dating abuse
Propose novel approaches to preventing dating violence that integrate the results from the most recent research in the field on the “outer layers” of the social-ecological model
