Love Notes and Hope: The Change Mechanisms of Hope and Conflict

Successfully (or unsuccessfully) navigating romantic relationships is a robust predictor of adolescent mental health. Youth relationship education programs (YREP) have been found to promote adaptive relationship knowledge, attitudes, and skills; however, little research has examined how such programs influence mental health. YREPs may be beneficial for youth’s mental health, and hope may play an important role. Encouraging youth to set clear goals and promoting self-efficacy for behaviors that enact those goals may be helpful considerations for those serving youth (and particularly adolescent young men) in YREPs.

(Ed. Note: Love Notes was the intervention evaluated in this study.)

Data Snapshot Shows Bullying Reported by High School Students

OJJDP has updated its Statistical Briefing Book with a new Data Snapshot on the prevalence of bullying experiences reported by high school students in 2021. The data show that bullying on school property declined between 2011 and 2021, while bullying electronically remained stable. The data also show that females were more likely than males to report bullying, while students who identify as heterosexual were less likely to report bullying experiences than their nonheterosexual peers.

Data on the Sexual and Reproductive Health of Opportunity Youth

A new infographic provides data about the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) of opportunity youth (i.e., young people who are disconnected from work and school)—including data on their contraception use, pregnancy and childbirth patterns, and access to SRH services—to help youth-supporting professionals better understand opportunity youth’s experiences and needs.

How to Teach Teens to Navigate Misinformation and Fake News

Today’s media landscape is drowning in misinformation and disinformation, which makes it hard to decide what information is trustworthy. Confusing matters further, there are people who claim that factually correct stories are fake news because they disagree with them. But as parents and caregivers, you can help teens understand what to do with the media they encounter. And you can guide them to make good decisions about what they learn. You do this by developing their “media literacy” – skills needed to help find, understand, and use credible information to stay informed.

TRIO’s Online Interactive Story Map

The TRIO Story Map harnesses the power of geography to tell the story of the Federal TRIO Programs and to demonstrate the wide footprint of the programs.

(Ed. Note: TRIO programs are great settings to teach relationship skills.)
