approach to prevent teen dating violence among youth in high-risk
urban communities. Dating Matters consists of evidence-based or
evidence-informed prevention strategies implemented at each level
of the social ecology. The proposed participants are middle school
students, middle school parents, student brand ambassadors (i.e.,
slightly older youth who promote the communications messages with
the target group), educators, school leadership, program
implementers, community representatives, and local health
department representatives in up to four high-risk urban
communities.
