Dr. Jeff Temple presents findings from the long-running "Dating It’s Safe" longitudinal study tracking youth relationships, dating violence, mental health, substance use, firearms, and sexting from adolescence into adulthood. The episode highlights key findings such as the high cumulative prevalence of bidirectional dating violence, links between parental IPV and later perpetration, and the association between childhood corporal punishment and future dating violence.

The talk also covers sexting research showing harms mainly when non‑consensual or coerced, the addition of firearm measures after 2013, and the study’s strong retention and diverse sample. Dr. Temple discusses prevention, including the successful Fourth R relationship curriculum that reduced violence and long‑term depression, and the importance of continuing prevention into the 20s and across generations.
