ABSTRACT
Adolescent relationship violence (ARV) is the use of coercive, controlling, and violent behavior within romantic adolescent relationships. It presents with patterned behaviors that occur in a cyclic fashion. ARV is common across all demographics and encompasses modalities such as physical, sexual, psychological, digital and financial abuse; reproductive coercion, and stalking. Exposure increases risk for serious acute and chronic physical and mental health consequences, including death. In the first article of this 2-part series, the authors describe the social, psychological, and medical context of ARV; in part two, the author’s focus on practical aspects for approaching ARV in clinical encounters.
