Abstract

Violence against women is a serious public health prob­lem in Brazil, especially during adolescence. This study sought, through a scoping review, to synthesize and analyze interventions with adolescents aimed at preventing violence against women. The search for articles was carried out on the Scielo, BVS Bireme and Scopus platforms, with the fol­lowing inclusion criteria: peer-reviewed articles, written in English, Span­ish or Portuguese, published between 2011-2021, which described inter­ventions with adolescents to prevent violence against women, as well as their results. After applying the selection criteria, 16 articles were selected. It should be noted that most of the interventions carried out had few behav­ioral components and their results indicate changes predominantly focused on attitudes and opinions. It is concluded that these are guidelines focused on behavior change and that behavior analysis has great potential to con­tribute to this process.
