Background:

Hegemonic masculinity has been recognized as contributing to the perpetration of different forms of gender-based violence (GBV). Abandoning hegemonic masculinities and promoting positive masculinities are both strategies used by interventions that foreground a “gender-transformative approach.” Preventing GBV among young people could be strengthened by engaging young men. In this article, we aim to systematically review the primary characteristics, methodological quality, and results of published evaluation studies of educational interventions that aim to prevent different forms of GBV through addressing hegemonic masculinities among young people.

Main body:

We conducted a systematic review of available literature (2008–2019) using Medline (PubMed), Scopus, Web of Science, PsycInfo, the CINAHL Complete Database, and ERIC as well as Google scholar. The Template for Intervention Description and Replication was used for data extraction, and the quality of the selected studies was analyzed using the Mixed Method Appraisal Tool. More than half of the studies were conducted in Africa (n = 10/15) and many were randomized controlled trials (n = 8/15). Most of the studies with quantitative and qualitative methodologies (n = 12/15) reported a decrease in physical GBV and/or sexual violence perpetration/victimization (n = 6/15). Longitudinal studies reported consistent results over time.

Conclusions:

Our results highlight the importance of using a gender-transformative approach in educational interventions to engage young people in critical thinking about hegemonic masculinity and to prevent GBV.

年轻人的积极男性气质和基于性别的暴力教育干预：系统回顾

背景：

霸权男子气概被认为有助于实施不同形式的基于性别的暴力 (GBV)。放弃霸权男性气质和促进积极的男性气质都是干预措施所使用的策略，这些干预措施以“性别变革方法”为前景。通过让年轻人参与进来，可以加强在年轻人中预防 GBV。在这篇文章中，我们旨在系统地回顾已发表的教育干预评估研究的主要特征、方法质量和结果，这些教育干预旨在通过解决年轻人的霸权男性气质来预防不同形式的 GBV。

主体：

我们使用 Medline (PubMed)、Scopus、Web of Science、PsycInfo、CINAHL Complete Database、ERIC 和 Google scholar 对可用文献 (2008–2019) 进行了系统回顾。干预描述和复制模板用于数据提取，并使用混合方法评估工具分析所选研究的质量。超过一半的研究是在非洲进行的 ( n = 10/15)，许多是随机对照试验 ( n = 8/15)。大多数采用定量和定性方法的研究 ( n = 12/15) 报告了身体 GBV 和/或性暴力实施/受害 ( n = 6/15)的减少。随着时间的推移，纵向研究报告了一致的结果。

结论：

我们的结果强调了在教育干预中使用性别变革方法让年轻人参与对霸权男性气质的批判性思考和预防 GBV 的重要性。
