Partner violence is the most prevalent form of violence against women globally: a woman is at the greatest risk for suffering violence in her own home by someone she knows. A recent systematic review found that most of effective evaluations and programs on VAWG have been directed to IPV. This paper emphasizes results of these and other primary prevention programs, not because secondary and tertiary prevention programs are ineffective, but because primary prevention programs allow for macro-level programming that targets root causes of violence, such as harmful gender norms, to create generations of men, women, boys, and girls who not only no longer accept violence, but also feel empowered to eliminate it. To conclude, this methodological annex outlines the steps involved in adapting to new settings a community-based intervention to prevent intimate partner violence. While the precise nature of these steps will vary depending on the setting in which they are applied, the core ethical and effectiveness considerations here should remain true regardless of location. The authors hope that this note will help programmers worldwide to successfully transform community norms and prevent intimate partner violence.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOPSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORTSOCIAL NORMSHEALTHY CHOICESREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHGENDER INEQUALITYSEXUAL PARTNERSRELIGIOUS LEADERSANTENATAL CARELAWSPREVENTIONYOUTH GROUPSMORBIDITYSYPHILISSEX PRACTICESSEXUAL HEALTHCOMMUNITY HEALTHLABOR FORCESERVICESGENDER BASED VIOLENCEHEALTH CARESEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONSGENDER EQUITYINTIMATE PARTNERMENTAL HEALTH SERVICESHEALTHDEPRESSIONALCOHOLCRIMEFORM OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENPUBLIC HEALTHDRUG ABUSEKNOWLEDGEADVOCACY CAMPAIGNSIMMIGRANT WOMENPREGNANCIESSUPPORT SERVICESCOMMUNITY MOBILIZATIONSMOKINGINTERVENTIONGENDER EQUALITY TRAININGBOYSBIRTH WEIGHTCONSEQUENCES OF VIOLENCESEXUALITYGENDER TRAININGPELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASEPRODUCTIVITYECONOMIC EMPOWERMENTSTISRISK BEHAVIORSVIOLENCEGENDER NORMSANXIETYUSE OF HEALTH SERVICESYOUTH LEADERSCOERCIONSCREENINGHEALTH NEEDSINTERVIEWMENTAL HEALTHMORTALITYFORMS OF VIOLENCEMALE YOUTHHEALTH PROMOTIONPOSTERSUNEMPLOYMENTDOMESTIC VIOLENCEACCESS TO JUSTICEMEDICAL RESEARCHMALE PARTNERSWHOSUBSTANCE ABUSESCHOOLSSURVEILLANCEGENDEREXPOSURE TO VIOLENCEHEALTH EFFECTSDIGNITYHEALTH OUTCOMESCHLAMYDIAHYGIENEVICTIMSRADIO PROGRAMSFAMILY LAWSFAMILY PLANNINGTRAINING MANUALSTRESSGEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTIONHEALTH BEHAVIORYOUTHFORM OF VIOLENCESURVIVORS OF VIOLENCEINJURIESWORKSHOPSADOLESCENTSREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH OUTCOMESBEATINGMASCULINITYWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONRISK FACTORSSEXHEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALSWEIGHTHUMAN RIGHTSPREVENTION OF VIOLENCEUNWANTED PREGNANCIESCHILDRENINJURY PREVENTIONCAUSES OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENPHYSICAL HEALTHSEVERE PHYSICAL VIOLENCEROLE EXPECTATIONSFORMS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENVIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENISOLATIONPREVENTION OF GENDERSEXUAL VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENINFECTIONSDISCRIMINATORY LAWSHUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONGIRLSSAFE SEXBEHAVIOURSGONORRHEADISCRIMINATORY FAMILY LAWSSTRATEGYCONFLICT RESOLUTIONPHYSICAL VIOLENCEFAMILIESWOMENSEXUAL VIOLENCEAIDSHIGH-RISKBEHAVIOR CHANGEHEALTH SERVICESIMPLEMENTATIONMENTALABORTIONPREGNANCYCOMMUNITY INTERVENTIONSGENDER EQUALITYSEXUAL COERCIONINEQUALITYReportWorld Bank10.1596/24712
