The survey asked about 9,900 high school students whether they had experienced some type of violence from someone they dated. The results, published in the journal _JAMA Pediatrics_, showed that about 7% of teen girls reported experiencing physical violence, 8% said they experienced sexual violence and 6% experienced both. Almost 21% said they were the victim of some type of dating-related violence. For boys, about 4% reported experiencing physical violence, 3% experienced sexual violence and 10% experienced any type. Though girls were more likely to experience violence, the numbers show dating assaults affect young boys as well. The new CDC survey adds to its prior research into the prevalence of dating violence, but the latest version asked updated questions that include sexual violence and more accurately portray violent behaviors, the study authors say. Most of the teens surveyed reported experiencing such violence more than one time. The findings also showed that those who experienced some form of dating violence also had a higher prevalence of other health risks like drinking alcohol, using drugs or thinking about suicide. Future research should look at the frequency of violence in teen dating relationships and how that may harm teens’ health, the researchers conclude. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3726569/teen-dating-violence/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3726569/teen-dating-violence/"},"headline":"Teen Dating Violence Harms Both Genders, Government Report Shows","datePublished":"2015-03-02T16:00:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T04:47:48.846Z","description":"New data on teen dating violence reveals problems among both sexes","url":"https://time.com/3726569/teen-dating-violence/","keywords":["Sex/Relationships","Teens","High School","violence","abuse"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4bab9f74cfccd82c/69878176e20a870054a85566/gettyimages_155386756-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alexandra Sifferlin","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alexandra-sifferlin/"}],"articleSection":"Health","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4bab9f74cfccd82c/69878176e20a870054a85566/gettyimages_155386756-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"155386756","caption":"155386756","creditText":"Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/section/health/","name":"Health"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/sexrelationships/","name":"Sex/Relationships"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3726569/teen-dating-violence/","name":"Teen Dating Violence Harms Both Genders, Government Report Shows"}}]}] ```
