Abstract

PURPOSE of Review: This review article aims to discuss important concepts related to intimate partner violence (IPV) in adolescents. It seeks to answer questions regarding the risk factors for such violence and to address considerations relevant to the practice of emergency room and trauma physicians. Recent Findings: IPV in adolescents is different from adult IPV in a few important ways, due to unique aspects of adolescent development and socialization. There are many risk factors for dating violence in this population that practitioners must be aware of. Additionally, the intersections between this type of violence and specific trauma-related concerns are complex and not fully understood. Summary: Despite its prevalence, adolescent dating violence is an understudied issue, one that impacts not just adolescents but the adults that they become. In order to improve the health and wellness of our communities, practitioners must seek a better understanding of IPV as an adolescent phenomenon. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
