SUMMARY

This cluster randomized clinical trial compares the effects of a gender norms program with those of a job-readiness program on sexual violence perpetration by adolescent boys and young men in disadvantaged neighborhoods. The proportion of individuals reporting perpetrating gender-based violence in the past 9 months was reduced among individuals receiving a gender-transformative program and those receiving job-readiness training; the difference in reduction between the 2 groups was not significant.
