This study examined whether a web-based program that talks about communication and feelings with families reduces dating violence among middle-school boys. The final intervention (STRONG), used by parents and adolescents together, was based on the empirical literature linking emotion regulation deficits to violent behavior as well as studies showing that parental involvement is crucial to offset dating violence risk.
