Three main objectives were addressed: identify factors associated with help seeking, identify help-seeking source (who adolescents disclose to), and explore the barriers and facilitators for help seeking. Results were separated into actual help seeking and help-seeking intentions. A systematic search was conducted via an electronic search on February 10, 2017. Studies were identified by systematically searching the following electronic databases: Amed, BNI, CINAHL, EMBASE, Health Business Elite, HMIC, Medline, PsychINFO, and PubMed. Nineteen studies were included in the review. Adolescents were more likely to go to informal sources of support, with friends being the most commonly reported source. The majority of studies found females were more likely than males to seek help; however, inconsistencies in gender differences emerged. The variation in measurement and definition of ADV and help seeking included in this review impacts on its conclusions. Adolescents identify a number of barriers to help seeking for ADV. Emotional factors were identified as important barriers to seeking help; however, very little research in this review explored this area. Further research is required on age and cultural differences, use of the Internet, and preference for different sources for different types of abuse. There is a need for a greater focus on help seeking to ensure government campaigns are appropriately meeting the needs of young people experiencing ADV.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1524838018770412","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,22]],"date-time":"2018-04-22T22:29:15Z","timestamp":1524436155000},"page":"350-366","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":72,"title":["Adolescents\u2019 Help-Seeking Behavior and Intentions Following Adolescent Dating Violence: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Kerrie","family":"Bundock","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Oxford Institute of Clinical Psychology Training, Isis Education Centre, Oxford, England"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carmen","family":"Chan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, Oxford, England"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olivia","family":"Hewitt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oxford Institute of Clinical Psychology Training, Isis Education Centre, Oxford, England"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1524838018770412","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/17450128.2014.945629"},{"key":"bibr2-1524838018770412","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006199-200507000-00005"},{"key":"bibr3-1524838018770412","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jadohealth.2003.12.014"},{"key":"bibr4-1524838018770412","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1077801208320248"},{"key":"bibr5-1524838018770412","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1077801202239005"},{"key":"bibr6-1524838018770412","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1006\/jado.1995.1013"},{"key":"bibr8-1524838018770412","unstructured":"Centers for disease control and prevention (2015).
