Researcher to study impact of online dating abuse
February 12, 2021
CDC grant will support study on how cyber dating abuse impacts marginalized teens
For many young people today, a large share of their social experiences, including dating, can happen online.
This means that more and more teens are experiencing instances of online dating violence, yet little is understood about how this type of violence occurs and its impact on adolescents – particularly those who are already at greater risk for negative health outcomes.
Now, a University of Georgia researcher is investigating digital technologies and their role in both perpetuating and preventing online violence among marginalized adolescents.
