Summary

This pilot study tests a program called Engaging Together for Healthy Relationships, designed to help caregivers and teens talk about and prevent dating violence. The program is delivered during regular pediatric check-ups. Researchers will enroll about 120 teens aged 12-16 and their parents to see if the program is acceptable and practical in a primary care setting.
