abstract="Historically, the courtship relationship is thought to be one of peace and tranquility. However, recent research has demonstrated that many dating relationships include violence as a means to resolve conflicts. While differences have been found in the prevalence of violence between high school and college students, both groups report similar locations, causes, and consequences for the behavior. Peers are cited most often as confidants for students who have experienced the violence. Unfortunately, almost 25% of those who experience violence report it to no one. This paper also describes means school health personnel can use to discuss courtship violence with students. By demonstrating awareness of and sensitivity to the problem, school health personnel may be able to counter use of violence in dating relationships.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
