目前，22个州在法律上要求或敦促学校包括青少年约会暴力（TDV）意识教育；然而，很少有研究调查学区是如何解释和实施这些政策的。在一个要求父母和孩子接受此类教育的州，以及在一个为西班牙裔小学青少年服务的大城市，本文评估了公立学校提供的TDV意识教育的类型，包括这些信息的可及性。具体来说，我们直接联系了独立学区（isd; N = 10，服务超过15,000名青少年），以评估是否以及哪些TDV教育项目正在实施。我们还评估了是否通过学校网站以TDV政策的形式传播了意识教育，以及是否有关于TDV的其他信息（例如，资源，计划）。讨论了结果，强调需要使用循证规划、意识可及性和适合西班牙裔父母和青年的文化材料。
Currently, 22 states legally require or urge schools to include teen dating violence (TDV) awareness education; yet, little research has examined how school districts are interpreting and implementing these policies. In a state that mandates such education for parents and children, and within a large urban city serving primary Hispanic youth, the present article assessed the types of TDV awareness education being provided in public schools, including the accessibility of this information. Specifically, we contacted independent school districts (ISDs; N = 10, serving over 15,000 youth) directly to assess whether and which TDV education programs were being implemented. We also assessed whether awareness education was being disseminated via school websites in the form of a policy on TDV, as well as whether additional information pertaining to TDV (e. g., resources, programs) was available. Results are discussed, highlighting the need for use of evidence-based programming, awareness accessibility, and culturally appropriate materials for Hispanic parents and youth.
