As teen dating violence (TDV) has gained attention as a public health concern across the United States (US), many efforts to mitigate TDV appear as policies in the 50 states in the form of for programming in K-12 schools. A keyword search identified 61 state-level school-based TDV policies. We developed an abstraction form to conduct a content analysis of these policies and generated descriptive statistics and graphic summaries. Thirty of the policies were original and 31 were additions or revisions of policies enacted by 17 of the 30 states previously. Of a possible score of 63, the minimum, mean, median, and maximum scores of currently active policies were 3.0, 17.7, 18.3, and 33.8, respectively. Results revealed considerable state-to-state variation in the presence and composition of school-based TDV policies. Opportunity for improving policies was universal, even among those with most favorably scores.
随着青少年恋爱暴力(TDV)作为美国公共卫生关注的问题受到关注,许多旨在减轻 TDV 的努力似乎以 50 个州的政策形式出现在 K-12 学校的编程中。关键词搜索确定了 61 项州一级的基于学校的 TDV 政策。我们开发了一个抽象表格来对这些政策进行内容分析,并生成描述性统计数据和图形摘要。其中 30 项政策是原创的,31 项是之前 30 个州中的 17 个州颁布的政策的补充或修订。在 63 分的可能分数中,当前有效政策的最低、平均、中位数和最高分数分别为 3.0、17.7、18.3 和 33.8。结果显示,州际之间在基于学校的 TDV 政策的存在和组成方面存在相当大的差异。即使在得分最高的州,也有机会改进政策。
