N2  - This research paper presents findings related to young people's disclosure or non-disclosure following experiences of abuse or violence in dating relationships. Students aged 16 to 18 years were drawn from five schools in the Auckland metropolitan area. The methodology for the research involved a survey and focus group, and results were presented in three sections: students' reports of disclosure (whether it occurred and to whom, if it did occur); the consequences of disclosure or non-disclosure; and students' accounts of prevention and intervention services for young people. The survey findings indicate variable patterns of disclosure across emotional abuse, sexual coercion, and physical violence, with disclosures made primarily to friends. For the focus group data, it was suggested that a number of barriers may operate to preclude help-seeking, including embarrassment, concerns about confidentiality, and lack of trust. The research findings are discussed in the context of implications for school education programmes and service providers
