Teen dating violence (TDV) is a global public health and safety issue causing health impacts to youth people. This study aimed to examine: (1) the impact of the pandemic on TDV victimisation rates and (2) socioecological factors associated with sustained risk for TDV victimisation during the first year of COVID-19.
Data are from an ongoing randomised controlled trial of a TDV prevention programme in Texas (n=2768). We conducted annual assessments in 2019-2021. We used regression modelling to assess demographic, individual, peer and family factors associated with TDV risks.
TDV rates declined from 11.9% in 2019 to 5.2% in 2021. While demographic, peer and family/household factors were not associated with TDV victimisation during the pandemic, individual-level factors (ie, early sexual debut, substance use, acceptance of violence and prior TDV involvement) were related to COVID-era risks. Only early sexual debut was uniquely linked to TDV victimisation risk the first year of COVID-19.
While TDV rates declined during the pandemic, previous victimisation, substance use and early sexual debut remained potent risks for relationship harm.
青少年约会暴力（TDV）是一个全球公共卫生与安全问题，对青少年的健康产生影响。本研究旨在探讨：（1）疫情对TDV受害率的影响，以及（2）在新冠疫情第一年与TDV受害持续风险相关的社会生态因素。
数据来自德克萨斯州一项正在进行的TDV预防项目的随机对照试验（n = 2768）。我们在2019 - 2021年进行了年度评估。我们使用回归模型来评估与TDV风险相关的人口统计学、个体、同伴和家庭因素。
TDV发生率从2019年的11.9%降至2021年的5.2%。虽然在疫情期间，人口统计学、同伴和家庭/家庭因素与TDV受害无关，但个体层面的因素（即初次性行为过早、物质使用、对暴力的接受程度以及之前参与过TDV）与新冠疫情时期的风险相关。只有初次性行为过早与新冠疫情第一年的TDV受害风险有独特关联。
虽然疫情期间TDV发生率下降，但之前的受害经历、物质使用和初次性行为过早仍然是关系伤害的重大风险因素。
