Teen dating violence (TDV) is a serious and potentially lethal form of relationship violence in adolescence. TDV is highly correlated with several outcomes related to poor physical and mental health. Although incidence and prevalence data indicate high rates of exposure to TDV among adolescents throughout the United States, significant confusion remains in healthcare communities concerning the definition and implications of TDV. Additionally, healthcare providers are uncertain about effective screening and intervention methods. The article will review the definition and epidemiology of TDV and discuss possible screening and intervention strategies.
TDV research is a relatively new addition to the field of relationship violence. Although some confusion remains, the definition and epidemiology of TDV are better understood, which has greatly led to effective ways in which to screen and intervene when such violence is detected. Universal screening with a focus on high-risk subgroups combined with referrals to local and national support services are key steps in reducing both primary and secondary exposure.
TDV is a widespread public health crisis with serious short-term and long-term implications. It is necessary for pediatric and adolescent healthcare providers to be aware of TDV and its potential repercussions, as well as possible methods for screening and intervention. More research is needed to better understand TDV as well as to further define effective screening and intervention protocol for the clinical environment.
青少年恋爱暴力（TDV）是青春期中一种严重且潜在致命的关系暴力形式。TDV 与许多与身心健康不良相关的后果高度相关。尽管发病率和流行率数据表明，在美国青少年中普遍存在接触 TDV 的情况，但医疗保健界对 TDV 的定义和影响仍存在很大的混淆。此外，医疗保健提供者对有效的筛查和干预方法也不确定。本文将回顾 TDV 的定义和流行病学，并讨论可能的筛查和干预策略。
TDV 研究是关系暴力领域的一个相对较新的补充。尽管仍然存在一些混淆，但 TDV 的定义和流行病学得到了更好的理解，这极大地促进了在发现这种暴力时进行筛查和干预的有效方法。以高风险亚组为重点的普遍筛查，结合向当地和国家支持服务机构的转介，是减少原发性和继发性接触的关键步骤。
TDV 是一种广泛存在的公共卫生危机，具有严重的短期和长期影响。儿科和青少年保健提供者有必要了解 TDV 及其潜在影响，以及筛查和干预的可能方法。需要进一步的研究来更好地了解 TDV，以及进一步定义临床环境中的有效筛查和干预方案。
