CSDE Affiliate Avanti Adhia (Nursing) released an article with co-authors in Preventive Medicine, titled “State laws addressing teen dating violence in US high schools: A difference-in-differences study“. Teen dating violence (TDV) is prevalent with lifelong adverse consequences, and strategies to reduce its burden are needed. Many U.S. states have enacted laws to address TDV in schools, but few studies have examined their effectiveness. This study aimed to assess whether state TDV laws were associated with changes in physical TDV victimization among high school students.
