TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Domestic violence shelters' efforts to prevent teen dating violence: a national survey JO - Violence against women A1 - Hawley, Alicia A1 - Black, Beverly A1 - Hoefer, Richard A1 - Barnett, Tracey Marie SP - 520 EP - 529 VL - 23 IS - 4 N2 - This research note reports data from a national survey of 213 domestic violence shelters regarding their teen dating violence (TDV) prevention efforts. More than half of the shelters reported that they provide TDV programing to at least 1/2 of the high schools in their communities; about 1/3 of shelters provide TDV programming to parents. Approximately 85% of shelters reported that they use or adapt a TDV curriculum. Shelters use information booths and Internet-based activities most often to increase public awareness, and they work through coalitions to advocate for TDV prevention efforts. This study is a first step toward documenting shelters' TDV prevention work.
