| Abstract: | The present study examined factors that differentiate adolescents with varied intentions of informal and professional help seeking for dating violence. Help-seeking intentions among 518 ethnically diverse adolescents from a rural South Carolina county who participated in a longitudinal study of teen dating violence were categorized into 3 groups: adolescents unlikely to seek any help, adolescents likely to seek only informal help, and adolescents likely to seek informal and professional help. Multinomial logistic regression found that gender, family functioning, problem-solving competency, dating status, having an adult to talk to about a dating relationship, and acceptability of family violence significantly predicted membership in the help-seeking groups. Implications for promoting informal and professional help seeking and recommendations for future research are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
