Abstract

The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence and severity of teen dating violence victimization in Spanish adolescents from both community and at-risk samples. The sample comprised 1,105 community adolescents from secondary schools, 149 adolescents from child, and adolescent mental health centers, 129 from residential care centers associated with the child welfare system, and 101 from centers in the juvenile justice system. The participants, aged between 14 and 17 years, were interviewed using the Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire. The lifetime prevalence of victimization in dating relationships ranged from 2.5% to 33.7%. The prevalence of physical victimization was slightly higher in boys, while sexual and electronic victimization and injuries were more prevalent in girls. In conclusion, teen dating violence is a prevalent problem in Spain that needs to be addressed to prevent adolescents from developing risk behaviors and to avoid adverse consequences on mental health, especially in at-risk adolescents.

青少年约会暴力受害的流行程度和严重程度在社区和高危青少年在西班牙。

本研究的目的是确定西班牙社区和高危样本青少年约会暴力受害的流行程度和严重程度。样本包括1105名来自中学的社区青少年，149名来自儿童和青少年心理健康中心，129名来自与儿童福利系统相关的寄宿护理中心，101名来自少年司法系统中心。参与者年龄在14至17岁之间，使用青少年受害问卷进行访谈。在约会关系中受害的终生发生率从2.5%到33.7%不等。身体伤害的发生率在男孩中略高，而性和电子伤害和伤害在女孩中更为普遍。最后，青少年约会暴力在西班牙是一个普遍存在的问题，需要加以解决，以防止青少年发展危险行为，避免对心理健康产生不利后果，特别是对处于危险中的青少年。
