PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Adolescent intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major public health problem in the United States. More than 60% of adolescents aged 12-18 in relationships report experiencing IPV (physical, sexual, and/or psychological abuse). Given the widespread prevalence and associated adverse outcomes, states are actively engaged in primary prevention strategies for reducing IPV, including the enactment and implementation of IPV laws. These state laws, which are rapidly expanding across the country, have the potential to alter the social context in which IPV occurs by encouraging or requiring school districts to adopt prevention education curricula and policies for addressing IPV. Such policies include definitions, training requirements for teachers and staff, and reporting procedures. Currently, 19 states have passed laws encouraging or mandating school IPV policies. Despite these laws gaining momentum in the past decade, there is a paucity of research examining the effectiveness of state laws and how schools implement policies to meet states’ legal mandates. The objectives of the proposed research in this Pathway to Independence Award are to determine if state IPV laws reduce the prevalence of adolescent IPV victimization and to assess if and how high schools implement these laws adequately. The specific aims are to: 1) estimate the effectiveness of state IPV laws on reducing the prevalence of adolescent IPV; 2) assess the implementation of IPV laws and the relationship between school IPV policies and IPV outcomes at the school-district level; 3) identify barriers and facilitators to implementing IPV policies in high schools; and 4) develop, refine, and test the feasibility and acceptability of a toolkit for implementation of IPV legislation in high schools. This study will provide the largest and most comprehensive evaluation of state IPV legislation to date. Findings will provide critical data on the effectiveness of school IPV policies in preventing adolescent IPV and actionable evidence for policy makers and agencies responsible for carrying out IPV policy implementation. To acquire the necessary skills to accomplish this project, I will receive training in three critical areas: 1) health policy and advanced econometrics; 2) implementation science; and 3) qualitative methods. I will also engage in professional development, extend my professional networks, and further develop my grant writing and oral presentation skills. I have assembled an interdisciplinary mentorship team with expertise in public health, medicine, public policy, law, and education to ensure completion of the proposed research and training plan and a successful transition to independence. This Pathway to Independence Award will enable me to develop into an interdisciplinary, independent investigator who examines the causes and consequences of IPV at the individual level and assesses how multilevel policies and interventions can prevent adolescent IPV.

项目总结/摘要 青少年亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）是美国的一个主要公共卫生问题。超过60% 的12-18岁青少年在关系中报告经历IPV（身体，性和/或心理） 滥用）。鉴于广泛的流行和相关的不良后果，各国积极参与 减少IPV的初级预防战略，包括颁布和实施IPV法律。这些 州法律在全国范围内迅速扩大，有可能改变社会环境， IPV通过鼓励或要求学区采用预防教育课程和政策来实现， 解决IPV问题。这些政策包括定义、教师和工作人员的培训要求以及报告 程序.目前，有19个州通过了鼓励或强制学校IPV政策的法律。尽管有这些 在过去的十年里，法律的势头越来越强劲，但很少有研究审查国家的有效性， 法律和学校如何执行政策，以满足国家的法律的任务。建议的目标 这项独立之路奖的研究是为了确定州IPV法律是否减少了 青少年IPV受害情况，并评估高中是否以及如何充分执行这些法律。的 具体目标是：1）评估州IPV法律在减少青少年患病率方面的有效性 评估IPV法律的实施情况以及学校IPV政策与IPV的关系 在学区一级的成果; 3）确定在高中实施IPV政策的障碍和促进因素 学校;以及4）开发，完善和测试实施IPV的工具包的可行性和可接受性 在高中立法。这项研究将提供最大和最全面的评估国家IPV 立法至今。调查结果将提供关于学校IPV政策在预防艾滋病方面的有效性的关键数据。 青少年IPV和可供决策者和负责执行IPV政策的机构采取行动的证据 实施.为了获得完成这个项目所需的技能，我将接受三个关键方面的培训。 领域：1）卫生政策和先进的计量经济学; 2）实施科学;和3）定性方法。我会 我还从事专业发展，扩大我的专业网络，并进一步发展我的赠款写作 和口头表达能力。我组建了一个跨学科的导师团队， 卫生、医学、公共政策、法律和教育，以确保完成拟议的研究和培训 计划和成功过渡到独立。这个独立之路奖将使我能够 发展成为一个跨学科的，独立的调查谁检查IPV的原因和后果 在个人层面，并评估如何多层次的政策和干预措施可以防止青少年IPV。
