Research demonstrates that Teen Dating Violence (TDV) programs impact TDV knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors, decreasing the odds of TDV victimization and perpetration. Studies indicate that students who do not complete a TDV intervention have significantly higher odds of physical and emotional TDV victimization and emotional TDV perpetration. This study uses multiple logistic regression and multiple linear regression to examine predictors of the presence and the strength of state legislation addressing TDV education and school policies. Results indicate some success in predicting the existence of TDV laws but less support for forecasting the strength of the policies passed. Dominant political party and state median income were found to be potentially important determinants of TDV state school policies. A state's political culture influenced the strength of states' TDV policies. Showing that policy existence and strength are related to different processes is important for advocates to understand. Future research should look at additional variables and explore legislative histories.
研究表明，青少年约会暴力（TDV）项目对 TDV 知识、态度和行为产生影响，降低了 TDV 受害和施暴的可能性。研究表明，未完成 TDV 干预的学生遭受身体和情感 TDV 受害以及情感 TDV 施暴的可能性要高得多。本研究使用多项逻辑回归和多项线性回归来检验影响青少年约会暴力教育和学校政策的存在和力度的预测因素。结果表明，在预测 TDV 法律的存在方面取得了一些成功，但对预测所通过政策的力度的支持较少。主要政党和州的中值收入被发现可能是青少年约会暴力州立学校政策的重要决定因素。一个州的政治文化影响了该州 TDV 政策的力度。表明政策的存在和力度与不同的过程有关，这对倡导者来说很重要。未来的研究应该关注其他变量，并探索立法历史。
