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.
