W A S H I N G T O N, August 1 -- Tonight on Nightline, Ted Koppel will be talking to a panel of college students and an educator and author about a recent study on dating and violence. The study, published by the Journal of the American Medical Association, focuses on high school girls and found that one in five girls interviewed had been physically or sexually abused by a boyfriend.

Deborah Roffman is a nationally certified Sexuality and Family Life Educator who has worked in the field for three decades. She is the assistant editor for education of the "Journal of Sex Education and Therapy." Her book, "Sex and Sensibility: The Thinking Parent's Guide to Talking Sense about Sex" came out this year.
