title: Prevalence of intimate partner violence victimization and perpetration among youth in Hawai'i.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of the current study was to examine the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) among teens in Hawai'i.
  
  
  METHODS
  Youth from two O'ahu high schools (N = 623) were asked to complete a quantitative survey about their experiences, as victims and perpetrators, of IPV.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The most frequently reported type of violence was monitoring/controlling behaviors. Girls reported higher rates of victimization and perpetration than boys for most violence types.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Future research should examine the contexts in which teen IPV occurs. It will also be important to engage community-based organizations in prevention efforts. Therefore, a train-the-trainer curriculum for IPV prevention and intervention is proposed.
