Prevention Researcher, v16 n1 p17-20 2009
From April 2007 to June 2008, focus groups with 41 Washington, DC youth, ages 11 to 19, were conducted by Break the Cycle. One group consisted of eight self-identified sexual minority teens. Participants were asked questions exploring their opinions on the prevalence of dating violence among teens, dating violence dynamics, seeking or providing help, and school responses to dating violence. This article explores the participants' opinions on these issues and concludes with practical implications for providers.
