In 2023, Coram International created for UNICEF this technical paper on common drivers and effective SBC approaches to prevent violence in adolescent intimate partner relationships.
This technical paper explores programmatic models for addressing violence in adolescent intimate partner relationships. While gaps in evidence remain, there is a relatively wide literature including systematic evidence reviews and meta-analyses evaluating the quality of evidence on programs designed to prevent and respond to intimate partner violence (IPV), including among adolescents. UNICEF, however, has not yet developed a cohesive programmatic response to addressing this form of violence, which could be taken to scale and adapted in low- and middle-income contexts (LMICs) worldwide.
