Abstract
Adolescents are often considered the forgotten demographic in public health and social policy [1]. They may be particularly vulnerable to certain types of violence owing to simultaneous risks of violence from caregivers and intimate partners and their unique physiology, particularly the rapid brain development that is a hallmark of adolescence [1]. Chronic exposure to the toxic stress of violence during youth can have severe consequences across the lifespan such as poor mental health, sexual and reproductive health problems, and chronic disease [2].
