Description:Dating Matters: Strategies to Promote Healthy Teen Relationships is a comprehensive teen dating violence prevention model designed and evaluated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Dating Matters aims to promote healthy relationship behaviors and prevent teen dating violence before it starts. The model is based on current evidence about what works in teen dating violence prevention and focuses on 11- to 14-year-olds. It includes multiple prevention components that focus on individuals, peers, families, schools, and neighborhoods. These components work together to reinforce and promote respectful, nonviolent dating relationships. CDC encourages communities to adopt all of these prevention components, as the model was developed and evaluated, for maximum impact at the community level.
The Dating Matters comprehensive teen dating violence prevention model is comprised of seven prevention components. These components (Figure 1) address key risk and protective factors for teen dating violence across the social environments that influence young people, including peers, their families, the school, and the neighborhood. The seven Dating Matters components work to reinforce consistent messages about healthy relationships across these contexts; promote complementary skills for youth, parents, and educators; and support these skills and messages with policy efforts.
As a Dating Matters Coach, you’ll be overseeing implementation of the youth and parent programs—but you might also be involved with other aspects of the model as well.
