Study Purpose View help for Study Purpose
The aims of this project were to examine:
- The onset and stability of different forms of teen dating violence (TDV) perpetration and victimization (physical, psychological, and sexual) across adolescence;
- Risk and protective factors for the onset and stability of TDV perpetration across individual (e.g., substance use; coping skills), family (e.g., parental substance use; parental monitoring), and community (e.g., peer violence) levels over time;
- Mental health (e.g., depression) and behavioral health (e.g., risky sexual behavior) outcomes following TDV victimization over time; and
- How gender, age, and race/ethnicity affect the onset and stability of TDV, associations between risk and protective factors and TDV perpetration, and the associations between TDV victimization and health outcomes.
Study Design View help for Study Design
For Baseline (spring 2010), Wave 2 (spring 2011), Wave 3 (spring 2012), and Wave 4 (spring 2013) assessments occurred during school hours using paper/pencil questionnaires. For the remaining three waves, the survey was completed via a web-based platform in the spring of 2014, 2015, and 2017. Written parental consent and child assent were obtained. Participants were re-consented when they reached the age of 18.
Sample View help for Sample
Participants were recruited from seven high schools from multiple Houston-area school districts. At baseline the mean age of the sample was 15 years, and 56% were female. The racial/ethnic distribution of the baseline sample was 28% African American, 29% white non-Hispanic, 31% Hispanic, 4% Asian/Pacific Islander, and 8% Mixed/Other. Study recruitment occurred during school hours in freshman and sophomore classes with mandated attendance (i.e., health, media literacy, world geography, and English). All students present in the selected classes were eligible to participate.

Response Rates View help for Response Rates
Of the 1,702 students present on recruitment days for the Dating It Safe study, 1,215 returned parental permission forms (71%). Of those 1,215 students 1,119 obtained parental permission to participate (66% of those recruited; 92% of those who returned permission forms). From those 1,119 students receiving parental permission 1,046 students completed the survey (62% of those recruited; 94% of those who received parental permission). Four surveys were discarded because of overt random responding, which resulted in a total of 1,042 participants recruited and assessed.
Participant retention rates for the follow-up assessments were high: 93% at Wave 2; 86% at Wave 3; 75% at Wave 4; 67% at Wave 5; 73% at Wave 6, and 66% at Wave 8.
