Prevention-Based Programs On Intimate Partner Violence For Adolescents

This thesis utilizes an empirical review of intimate partner violence prevention programs for adolescents. By using scholarly sources and governmental agency documents, a list of prevention-based programs across the U.S. and within North Carolina was compiled. The prevention-based programs represent three categories; evidence-based, technology-based, and evidence-based programs in North Carolina. Prevention programs were reviewed on their approach to which they engaged adolescents, the generalization of material, and the overall effectiveness of decreasing intimate partner violence among adolescents. The goal of the review is to establish knowledge, credibility, and support for prevention programs that aim at ending intimate partner violence.
