Notes:	Examines the results and implications of a national research project which explored, through both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, young people's experience of, and attitudes towards, domestic violence in Australia. A background to the project and an outline of its major objectives is provided as is a review of existing literature and research in the area. The findings of the qualitative and quantitative research are presented separately, the former in terms of the major issues raised, the latter according to participant responses to individual segments of the survey. Conceptualising violence as a continuum, from least to most severe, it is suggested that females are more substantively affected than males, that Indigenous youth are a high risk group, and that socio-economic dis/advantage and marginalisation tends to have an impact on young people's attitudes towards, and experience of, domestic violence. Age is also identified as an important factor in determining attitude and experience. It is recognised that young people's reports of intimate violence often extend beyond their family life, to their own relationships and that theories postulating family violence as cyclical are supported by the findings. The policy, intervention and research implications of the study are discussed and specific suggestions for prevention are made and prioritised.
