Since Last We Spoke: #TDVAM2014

Here’s the thing–I am immersed in the last throws of curriculum writing and have been for weeks, so pretty much everything I read this past weekend was related to domestic violence. So nothing from popular media to report back to you today. However, February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, and our friends at VAWnet have an updated special collection for you to check out. Plus, after the jump, a small selection from the science (I made it just for you):

For your reading pleasure, a sample of some of the peer-reviewed healthcare literature on teen dating violence from the past year (including a couple free full-text articles):
