“…Those attending school were less likely to report witness of violence against their mother compared to those not attending school, which is consistent with other studies in the literature that have found witnessing IPV to be associated with poor school performance and not completing high school (Tajima et al 2011;Thompson and Trice-Black 2012). Children who witness this abuse are at risk of emotional and behavioral problems, aggressive behavior, depressive symptoms, and poorer academic performance (Lepore and Kliewer 2013;Russell et al 2010;Thompson and Trice-Black 2012;Yates et al 2003). Native American women were found to be at increased risk of intimate partner violence in the 2010 CDC population based study (Black et al 2011).…”

“…For instance, some evidence-based, developmentally appropriate interventions for children exposed to IPV have been shown to decrease children's depressive symptomology and certain antisocial behaviors (Lee, Kolomer, and Thomsen 2012) and to enhance the relatedness among children within supportive environments (Thompson and Trice-Black 2012).…”

“…In terms of prevention implications, this finding suggests that one promising approach for dating abuse programs targeting teens who have experienced family violence would be to focus on changing normative beliefs about DA. For example, interventions might use a cognitive restructuring approach designed to help youth think about the violence they have experienced from a new perspective, emphasize the nonnormative nature of DA and violence, and reinforce nonviolent relationship behaviors (Thompson & Trice‐Black, ).…”
