abstract="Prevention science suggests that teen dating violence (TDV) prevention be directed at multiple levels of youth's social-ecological environments, from person to relationship, community, and societal levels. Yet, little is known about community and societal influences on TDV. We used a human rights capabilities approach to explore social-ecological environment influences TDV. Through 3 focus groups and 11 interviews, we asked 37 youth and 21 adults in a racially and socioeconomically diverse, Southeastern US school district to share their views on how environment influences TDV. A four-person team conducted thematic coding. <br><br>RESULTS revealed themes and contrasts across youth and adult understandings of context and capabilities in TDV. The capabilities approach provides a promising framework for understanding school and community influences on TDV.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
