摘要

Studies examining the associations between violence against children (VAC) and patterns of adolescent dating violence (DV) perpetration and victimization using person-centered analytic approaches remain limited and have yielded inconsistent findings. This study addresses whether emotional, physical, and sexual violence against children (VAC) are risk factors for distinct patterns of adolescent dating violence (DV), considering adolescents’ gender and their roles as victims or perpetrators. This is a school based cross-sectional study that involved a stratified cluster sample of 550 s-year high school students from thirteen schools in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) was used to detect VAC, while DV was identified using the Brazilian version of the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory (CADRI). Latent Class Analysis (LCA) was used to identify classes of individuals based on their response patterns to the CADRI items. Multinomial regression analysis examined the relationships between VAC and DV patterns. Among girls, no single type of VAC increased the odds of belonging to the most severe perpetration class of DV. However, childhood sexual abuse increased fivefold (OR: 5.72; 95% CI: 2.51–13.06) the likelihood of belonging to the most severe DV victimization class. Among boys, childhood emotional (OR: 1.65; 95% CI: 1.65 - 16.57) and physical abuse (OR: 2.66; 95% CI: 1.01 - 7.05) were associated with higher odds of DV perpetration. Emotional VAC increased boys’ likelihood of belonging to the poly-victimization class (OR: 5.97; 95% CI: 1.95 - 18.30). Childhood physical abuse also increased their likelihood of belonging to severe class by more than three-fold (OR: 3.60; 95% CI: 1.80–7.21). The effects of childhood victimization on adolescent DV differ by sex, type of childhood violence, and whether the adolescent is a perpetrator or victim. These findings underscore the need for sex-specific and trauma-informed strategies to prevent dating violence during adolescence.
