The Dating Violence among Latino Adolescents (DAVILA) study assessed the victimization experience of a national sample of 1,525 Latino adolescents living in the United States. Trained professionals from an experienced survey research firm conducted the interviews over the phone in either English or Spanish, from September 2011 through February 2012.

The purpose of the study was to:

• Determine extent of dating violence in a sample of male and female Latino adolescents;
• Determine the coexistence of other forms of victimization among those who experienced dating violence;
• Examine formal service utilization among Latino adolescents who experienced dating violence;
• Examine informal help-seeking among Latino adolescents who experienced data violence;
• Examine culturally-relevant factors associated with the experience of and responses to dating violence;
• Determine the psychological impact of dating violence on Latino adolescents; and
• Evaluate the role of social resources on victimizations and psychosocial functioning among victimized Latino adolescents.

The Dating Violence among Latino Adolescents follow-up (DAVILA - II) study consists of follow up-interviews with parent and youth respondents from the DAVILA study (see ICPSR 34630) about experiences that occurred after the baseline interview for the purpose of investigating dating violence, co-morbid victimization, psychosocial outcomes of dating violence, help-seeking efforts by Latino youth, and the impact of cultural factors on these associations. The goal of DAVILA - II was to collect a second wave of data from the participants in the original DAVILA study, resulting in longitudinal data that would allow the researchers to overcome many of the limitations associated with cross-sectional data.

This study collection was formed from two distinct data collection periods and respondent samples to test and validate a newly formed measure regarding adolescent dating abuse (ADA). The new measure named MARSHA (Measure of Adolescent Relationship Harassment and Abuse) reflects ADA from the both the perspectives of victim and perpetrator through the use of 39 pairs of questions on the topics of physical, sexual, emotional, and cyber abuse. The hope for this study was to allow researchers, clinicians, and practitioners, in a wide variety of settings and for multiple purposes, ability to assess the prevalence of ADA in a nation, state or neighborhood; conducting etiological research on ADA; evaluating ADA prevention programs; or screening youth for ADA in clinical or criminal justice settings.

The Longitudinal Examination of Victimization Experiences of Latinos (LEVEL) study surveyed Latino adults from four major cities across the United States to evaluate the past-year incidence and prevalence of bias or hate motivated victimization. This study is a follow-up to the Understanding and Measuring Bias Victimization Against Latinos study, ICPSR 37598, that was conducted in 2018-2019. The hope of this follow-up study, in conjunction with the original study "Wave 1", is to provide greater context into bias victimization by breaking apart the diverse nature of Latinx communities in regards to immigration status, language use, origin, acculturation, and enculturation.

This study surveyed immigrant and non-immigrant populations residing in high Latino population communities in order to:

• Assess the nature and pattern of bias motivated victimization.
• Explore the co-occurrence of bias motivated victimization with other forms of victimization.
• Measure reporting and help-seeking behaviors of individuals who experience bias motivated victimization.
• Identify cultural factors which may contribute to the risk of bias victimization.
• Evaluate the effect of bias victimization on negative psychosocial outcomes relative to other forms of victimization.
