Adolescent relationship abuse (ARA) is prevalent with significant health and social consequences. Faith-based organizations could play an important role in ARA prevention and intervention. Studies on the role of faith-based organizations in interpersonal violence have focused on adult survivor perspectives rather than adolescents. Focus groups and interviews were conducted with faith-based organization leaders, parents, and youth. Findings highlight that church leaders, parents, and youth all expect that faith-based organizations can play a role in educating teens about healthy relationships. Divergent perspectives about how faith-based organizations should address adolescent sexuality and privacy need to be addressed.
青少年关系虐待（ARA）很普遍，会产生重大的健康和社会后果。基于信仰的组织在预防和干预青少年关系虐待方面可以发挥重要作用。关于基于信仰的组织在人际暴力中作用的研究主要集中在成年幸存者的观点上，而非青少年。研究人员与基于信仰的组织领导人、家长和青少年进行了焦点小组讨论和访谈。研究结果表明，教会领袖、家长和青少年都期望基于信仰的组织能够在教育青少年建立健康关系方面发挥作用。关于基于信仰的组织应如何处理青少年性行为和隐私问题的不同观点需要得到解决。
