CSDE Affiliate Avanti Adhia (Child, Family, and Population Health Nursing; Epidemiology), CSDE Trainee Ann E. Richey (Epidemiology) and co-authors published a research article, titled “Implementation of Teen Dating Violence (TDV) Laws and Policies in High Schools: Staff and Student Perceptions,” in the Journal of Adolescent Health. The authors conducted semistructured interviews with school staff and students in states that require districts to develop written TDV policies and provide educational programs to explore their knowledge and experience. While written laws and policies are promising systems-level strategies to reduce TDV, further resources and attention devoted to implementation are critical to ensure TDV is addressed effectively within schools.
