Abstract

Do you wonder how young Black women view violence in dating relationships? In this qualitative study, the authors analyzed the responses of 64 Black college women to open-ended survey questions about abusive relationships. Participants shared their definitions of abuse, beliefs about what causes abuse, experiences of abuse, and opinions about offenders. The results revealed risk factors and sources of support for participants, which can be used to inform practitioners' interventions and prevention strategies. Practical implications for practitioners, future directions for research, and limitations of the study are discussed.
