Relationship Abuse During the Transition From Adolescence to Young Adulthood

NIJ-funded researchers help gain a better understanding of the consequences of adolescent relationship abuse and its impact on the transition to adulthood.

Teen dating violence is a critical public health concern and a potential precursor to intimate partner violence in adulthood. To better understand this progression, NIJ funded researchers at Bowling Green State University to collect data from approximately 1,000 young adults (ages 25-28) who previously participated in the Toledo Adolescent Relationship Study (TARS) when they were in seventh, ninth, or 11th grade.

Based on this longitudinal sample, we have a better understanding of the trajectories and consequences of relationship abuse during adolescence through the transition into young adulthood.
