It aims to explore the potential for intervening directly with boys and young men in community and school settings to address risk factors for sexual violence within diverse socio-cultural settings. The interventions in this review are those aimed at changing general attitudes and behaviors. The focus is on high-quality studies, defined as having a randomized controlled or quasi-experimental design. In addition to assessing relevant studies, this review will also examine the extent to which the identified interventions have been adapted from one setting, culture or context to another, as well as from one age group to another."
