Adapting intimate partner violence (IPV) prevention programs for teen mothers improved social support, coparenting, and parenting skills. These findings suggest tailored interventions can positively impact young parents' relationships.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Psychology
- Sociology
Background:
- Intimate partner violence (IPV) prevention programs require adaptation for specific populations like teen parents.
- Understanding secondary outcomes is crucial for program effectiveness and relationship improvement.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the adapted 'Safe Dates for Teen Mothers' IPV prevention program.
- To compare the adapted program against the original 'Safe Dates' program.
- To examine associations between IPV, social support, coparenting, and parenting.
Main Methods:
- Randomized pilot trial with 32 teen mothers across four sites.
- Comparison of an adapted IPV program versus the original program.
- Assessment of social support, coparenting, and parenting over 6 months.
Main Results:
- Medium effect sizes for cross-sectional associations between IPV, social support, coparenting, and parenting.
- Medium to large effect sizes favoring the adapted program over the original in improving social support, coparenting, and parenting.
Conclusions:
- IPV prevention programs tailored for teen parents show promise in fostering positive social relationship dynamics.
- Preliminary findings support the design of larger-scale research and intervention studies for teen parents.
