What is it about?
It is important that all youth receive effective interventions to prevent dating violence, given its high prevalence. The current study describes the development of a questionnaire, the Dating Violence Evaluation Questionnaire (DVEQ), to assess dating violence knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours. The results indicate that the DVEQ is a comprehensive and reliable evaluation instrument.
