Violence Against Women and their Children

Session: Examination of the relationships between adolescent risky behavior, mental health, and victimization

Examination of the Relationships Between Adolescent Risky Behavior, Mental Health, and Victimization

Saturday, October 26, 2024
10:30 AM – 11:00 AM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Poster 11A
Research on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) has demonstrated the cumulative effects of traumatic effects on later health and mental health functioning. This study will examine violence in adolescents for cumulative effects on these domains. Experiencing multiple forms of victimization (dating violence/sexual assault/bullying) increases risk of suicide and mental health functioning.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Discuss the background of ACEs and the implication for adolescent development with particular attention to subgroups such as Black/African Americans.
  2. Describe the relationships between ACEs, health behaviors, and mental health outcomes.
  3. Describe the complexities of ACEs, health behaviors, and mental health outcomes when examining groups such Black/African American adolescents.
