Dating violence during adolescence is a global public health issue due to its widespread occurrence and negative health consequences. Unfortunately, research addressing this topic in Latin American countries remains limited. Seeking to bridge this gap, the present study estimated the prevalence of both dating violence victimization and perpetration among high schoolers considering sociodemographic factors, exposure to other forms of violence, and school-related characteristics. A total of 539 students participated in the study selected by means of probabilistic sampling from private and public schools in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Dating violence was identified using the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory. Victimization prevalence ranged from 16.7% (sexual) to 94.6% (emotional), whereas perpetration prevalence varied between 9.9% (sexual) and 94.6% (emotional). Boys were more physically victimized (37.2% vs. 24.5%) and perpetrated more sexual abuse (13.7% vs. 6.9%) than girls. Adolescents reporting child abuse, living in violent areas, and those who consumed alcoholic beverages more frequently had greater dating violence prevalence overall. However, some differences between male and female vulnerability characteristics merit debate. These heterogeneous profiles of victimization/perpetration between boys and girls indicate the need for specific dating violence prevention interventions.
青少年时期的约会暴力是一个全球性的公共卫生问题，因为它普遍存在且会产生负面的健康后果。不幸的是，拉丁美洲国家针对这一主题的研究仍然有限。为了弥补这一差距，本研究在考虑社会人口学因素、接触其他形式暴力以及与学校相关特征的情况下，估计了高中生中约会暴力受害和施暴的发生率。共有539名学生参与了这项研究，这些学生是通过概率抽样从巴西里约热内卢的私立和公立学校中选取的。使用青少年约会关系冲突量表来识别约会暴力。受害发生率从16.7%（性暴力）到94.6%（情感暴力）不等，而施暴发生率则在9.9%（性暴力）到94.6%（情感暴力）之间变化。男孩遭受身体暴力的比例更高（37.2%对24.5%），实施性虐待的比例也高于女孩（13.7%对6.9%）。报告曾遭受虐待、生活在暴力地区以及更频繁饮酒的青少年总体上约会暴力发生率更高。然而，男性和女性易受伤害特征之间的一些差异值得探讨。男孩和女孩在受害/施暴方面的这些不同特征表明需要有针对性的约会暴力预防干预措施。
