Intimate partner violence (IPV) affects the health of women across the globe, with the greatest burden encountered by women in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This scoping review aims to summarize and critically examine primary prevention interventions addressing IPV perpetration by men and boys in LMICs and identify gaps in the evidence base. PubMed, EMbase, and PsychINFO were searched for articles published between January 2001 and October 2020 that examined the efficacy of primary prevention interventions to prevent IPV perpetration by men/boys in LMICs and reported on a quantitative outcome examining IPV perpetration. Data on study population, setting and design, intervention components, evaluation methods, and outcomes were extracted, and study quality was assessed using the Effective Public Health Practice Project tool. Of 8,392 articles, 16 intervention studies met inclusion criteria. All 16 were of moderate or weak quality. The majority were conducted in Africa, delivered by peers, theoretically grounded, and included content to challenge IPV acceptance and gender norms. Half demonstrated intervention efficacy in prevention of IPV perpetration; these studies tended to intervene at multiple levels of the Socio-Ecological Model, be delivered over a minimum of eight sessions, and utilize a validated IPV measure to assess intervention impact. In conclusion, the field of IPV perpetration prevention research in LMICs is rapidly evolving, with many interventions demonstrating promise. Future intervention studies should consider expanding to LMICs outside Africa, targeting school-age youth, exploring whether shorter intervention durations are effective, and addressing the methodological shortcomings noted in the quality assessment.

预防低收入和中等收入国家男性和男孩实施亲密伴侣暴力：初级预防干预措施范围审查。

亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 影响全球女性的健康，其中低收入和中等收入国家 (LMIC) 的女性承受的负担最大。本次范围审查旨在总结和严格审查针对中低收入国家男性和男孩实施 IPV 的初级预防干预措施，并找出证据基础中的差距。检索了 PubMed、EMbase 和 PsychINFO 2001 年 1 月至 2020 年 10 月期间发表的文章，这些文章研究了初级预防干预措施在预防中低收入国家男性/男孩 IPV 犯罪方面的有效性，并报告了检查 IPV 犯罪的定量结果。提取了有关研究人群、设置和设计、干预组成部分、评估方法和结果的数据，并使用有效的公共卫生实践项目工具评估了研究质量。在 8,392 篇文章中，16 篇干预研究符合纳入标准。所有 16 个质量均为中等或较差。大多数是在非洲进行的，由同行交付，具有理论基础，并包含挑战 IPV 接受度和性别规范的内容。一半表现出干预措施在预防 IPV 传播方面的功效；这些研究倾向于在社会生态模型的多个层面进行干预，至少进行八次会议，并利用经过验证的 IPV 指标来评估干预效果。总之，中低收入国家的 IPV 传播预防研究领域正在迅速发展，许多干预措施显示出希望。未来的干预研究应考虑扩展到非洲以外的中低收入国家，以学龄青年为目标，探讨较短的干预持续时间是否有效，并解决质量评估中指出的方法学缺陷。
