Abstract

Purpose: Teen dating violence (TDV) is a global public health and safety issue causing health impacts to youth people. This study aimed to examine: (1) the impact of the pandemic on TDV victimisation rates and (2) socioecological factors associated with sustained risk for TDV victimisation during the first year of COVID-19.

Methods: Data are from an ongoing randomised controlled trial of a TDV prevention programme in Texas (n=2768). We conducted annual assessments in 2019-2021. We used regression modelling to assess demographic, individual, peer and family factors associated with TDV risks.

Results: TDV rates declined from 11.9% in 2019 to 5.2% in 2021. While demographic, peer and family/household factors were not associated with TDV victimisation during the pandemic, individual-level factors (ie, early sexual debut, substance use, acceptance of violence and prior TDV involvement) were related to COVID-era risks. Only early sexual debut was uniquely linked to TDV victimisation risk the first year of COVID-19.

Conclusions: While TDV rates declined during the pandemic, previous victimisation, substance use and early sexual debut remained potent risks for relationship harm.

青少年约会暴力和 COVID-19 流行病：得克萨斯州纵向研究的趋势。

目的：青少年约会暴力（TDV）是一个全球性的公共卫生和安全问题，对青少年的健康造成了影响。本研究旨在探讨：(1) 大流行对 TDV 受害率的影响；(2) COVID-19 第一年间与 TDV 受害持续风险相关的社会生态因素：数据来自德克萨斯州正在进行的一项TDV预防计划随机对照试验（n=2768）。我们在 2019-2021 年进行了年度评估。我们使用回归模型来评估与TDV风险相关的人口、个人、同伴和家庭因素：TDV率从2019年的11.9%降至2021年的5.2%。虽然人口、同龄人和家庭/住户因素与大流行期间的TDV受害情况无关，但个人层面的因素（即初次性行为过早、药物使用、接受暴力和先前参与TDV）与COVID时代的风险有关。在 COVID-19 的第一年，只有早期初次性行为与 TDV 受害风险有独特的联系：结论：虽然TDV的发生率在大流行期间有所下降，但之前的受害经历、药物使用和过早的初次性行为仍然是造成人际关系伤害的潜在风险。
