Increasing attention has been given to the problem of teen dating violence with more research needed on mediating and moderating factors in the relationship between victimization and negative consequences. The current paper used a subsample of 2101 adolescents aged 11-19 who were surveyed through community surveys of youth risk behavior administered through a University’s Cooperative Extension Program. The current paper explored mental health and educational consequences of physical and sexual abuse by peers. For the sample overall, teen dating violence was associated with higher levels of self-reported depression, suicidal thoughts, and poorer educational outcomes. In analyses done separately by gender, use of alcohol and depression mediated the relationship between victimization and some school outcomes for men and women. For females, maternal support moderated the relationship between victimization and school outcomes, and between victimization and thoughts of suicide. There were fewer significant moderating effects for males. Teen dating Violence Page
