The prevention of intimate partner violence is a desirable individual and public
health goal for society. The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive
assessment of adolescent risk factors for partner violence in order to inform the
development of evidence-based prevention strategies. We utilize data from the
Rochester Youth Development Study, a two decade long prospective study of a
representative community sample of 1000 participants that has extensive measures
of adolescent characteristics, contexts, and behaviors that are potential
precursors of partner violence. Using a developmental psychopathology framework,
we assess self-reported partner violence perpetration in emerging adulthood (ages
20-22) and in adulthood (ages 29-30) utilizing the Conflict Tactics Scale. Our
results indicate that risk factors for intimate partner violence span several
developmental domains and are substantially similar for both genders.
Internalizing and externalizing problem behaviors as well as early intimate
relationships are especially salient for both genders. Additionally, cumulative
risk across a number of developmental domains places adolescents at particularly
high risk of perpetrating partner violence. Implications for prevention include
extending existing prevention programs that focus on high risk groups with
multiple risks for developmental disruption, as well as focusing on preventing or
mitigating identified risk factors across both genders.
