Adolescents' Understanding of Consent and Associations With Sexual Violence Experiences
Findings suggest that greater consent knowledge may not mitigate SV experiences. Despite efforts to educate youth about the necessity of consent, comprehension and practice of procedures to obtain consent may be inadequate to protect against SV. There is a need for further research on how consent is taught to and understood by adolescents.
