Abstract
Dating violence (DV) is a social problem that affects adolescents worldwide. Previous systematic reviews have mainly examined universal prevention programs with varying designs and outcomes. The lack of systematic reviews focusing on at-risk adolescents limits knowledge about which interventions are more effective. This systematic review synthesizes studies of DV programs for at-risk adolescents. The following databases were searched: PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science. A total of 5663 studies were identified; 17 were included in the systematic review and 11 in the meta-analysis. Randomized control trials and quasi-experimental studies with a follow-up longer than a month were included. When types of DV were analyzed separately, the results showed decreases in physical and sexual violence perpetration and physical DV victimization, but not significant changes in psychological and sexual violence victimization, psychological violence perpetration and attitudes toward DV were found. When composite scores were used (including all types of DV), significant reductions in DV victimization and perpetration were found. This systematic review and meta-analysis are the first to focus on at-risk adolescents and assess physical, psychological, sexual and cyber violence and attitudes toward DV. Examining existing programs is key to understanding what works for at-risk adolescents and improving their effectiveness.
约会暴力(DV)是一个影响全世界青少年的社会问题。以前的系统评价主要检查了具有不同设计和结果的普遍预防方案。缺乏针对高危青少年的系统评价,限制了对正在采取的措施和哪种干预措施更有效的了解。这篇系统综述综合了对有风险青少年的家庭暴力项目的研究。检索了以下数据库:PsycINFO、Scopus和Web of Science。总共确定了5663项研究;17例纳入系统评价,11例纳入荟萃分析。包括随机对照试验(rct)和准实验研究,随访时间超过一个月。综合得分显示家庭暴力受害和犯罪显著减少。调查结果还强调了身体暴力和性暴力犯罪的减少。心理、性暴力受害和家庭暴力态度无显著变化。这篇系统综述是第一个关注高危青少年的综述,也是第一个评估这一人群中身体、心理、性暴力和网络暴力以及对家庭暴力态度的荟萃分析。了解现有项目对于确定易遭受家庭暴力的青少年的需求并提出改进建议以提高这些干预措施的有效性至关重要。
期刊介绍:
Aggression and Violent Behavior, A Review Journal is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes substantive and integrative reviews, as well as summary reports of innovative ongoing clinical research programs on a wide range of topics germane to the field of aggression and violent behavior. Papers encompass a large variety of issues, populations, and domains, including homicide (serial, spree, and mass murder: sexual homicide), sexual deviance and assault (rape, serial rape, child molestation, paraphilias), child and youth violence (firesetting, gang violence, juvenile sexual offending), family violence (child physical and sexual abuse, child neglect, incest, spouse and elder abuse), genetic predispositions, and the physiological basis of aggression.
