Abstract
To analyze the scientific literature on preventing intimate partner violence among adolescents in the field of health based on gender and generational categories. This was an integrative review. We searched for articles using LILACS, PubMed/MEDLINE, and SciELO databases. Thirty articles were selected. The results indicate that most studies assessed interventions conducted by programs for intimate partner violence prevention. These studies adopted quantitative methods, and most were in the area of nursing, psychology, and medicine. Furthermore, most research contexts involved schools, followed by households, a hospital, a health center, and an indigenous tribe. The analyses were not conducted from a gender- and generation-based perspective. Instead, the scientific literature was based on positivist research models, intimately connected to the classic public healthcare model and centered on a singular dimension.

As these databases do not use Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms and there were no equivalent terms in the Health Science Descriptors (DECS) database, other keywords were selected to generate a greater number of articles from Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and LILACS.) The search for the MeSH term “AND Gender identity” in addition to the MeSH terms described above and the keyword “AND Gender” resulted in no new studies
Our search through the Brazilian and international scientific literature on dating violence prevention among adolescents resulted in 30 scientific articles, which displayed a predominance of quantitative approaches (n=23); five studies used qualitative approaches, and two adopted both
Summary
Recently has gender-based violence been recognized as a health issue and introduced as an object of scientific study. The issue has been introduced into the scope of health policies in Brazil. Most studies on intimate partner violence investigate violence in conjugal relationships between adults. More recently, these studies have given rise to investigations focused on intimate violence among young adults, known as dating violence(1). One of the first studies to investigate the theme of dating violence between young adults 15 to 19 years old on a national level was conducted between 2007 and 2010 in public and private schools in 10 Brazilian state capitals. The study points to the need for adolescent dating violence prevention and intervention strategies, considering both the magnitude and the vulnerabilities determined by the experiences that mark this generation
