有效预防青少年和年轻人中的亲密伴侣暴力是降低基于性别的暴力发生率的一项关键战略。在过去25年中，制定和评估了许多倡议。有新的证据表明，在高中环境中普遍预防约会暴力的有效策略和在大学校园中有效的旁观者干预措施。此外，还为易受害的特定青年群体确定了一些有效的做法（根据过去遭受家庭暴力的经历或以前的约会受害情况）。与此同时，尽管我们关于学校和大学干预措施的证据有所增加，但我们对边缘化群体有效预防的知识仍存在重大差距。例如，在土著青年、女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性者、质疑+ [LGBTQ+]青年和残疾青年妇女中，缺乏预防IPV的循证战略，尽管这些群体遭受暴力的风险较高。我们对青少年和年轻人有效预防GBV的证据现状进行了审查，发现存在重大差距。我们对这些差距的分析突出表明，需要更广泛地思考什么是证据。我们确定了一些战略和行动呼吁，以推动该领域的发展，并提供了我们在各种环境中与弱势青年合作的例子。
Effective prevention of intimate partner violence (IPV) among adolescents and young adults is a key strategy for reducing rates of gender-based violence (GBV). Numerous initiatives have been developed and evaluated over the past 25 years. There is emerging evidence about effective strategies for universal prevention of dating violence in high school settings and effective bystander interventions on university and college campuses. In addition, there have been some effective practices identified for specific groups of youth who are vulnerable to victimization (either based on past experiences of exposure to domestic violence or previous dating victimization). At the same time, though our evidence about school and college-based interventions has grown, there are significant gaps in our knowledge of effective prevention among marginalized groups. For example, there is a lack of evidence-based strategies for preventing IPV among Indigenous youth; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning+ [LGBTQ+] youth; and young women with disabilities, even though these groups are at elevated risk for experiencing violence. Our review of the current state of evidence for effective GBV prevention among adolescents and young adults suggests significant gaps. Our analysis of these gaps highlights the need to think more broadly about what constitutes evidence. We identify some strategies and a call to action for moving the field forward and provide examples from our work with vulnerable youth in a variety of settings.
