A structured interview was carried out consisting of 22 questions that explored knowledge and beliefs about interpersonal violence: a) Meaning (characterization, types, scenarios); b) Aggressors (characteristics, places where it occurs, causes to attack, possibility of helping them); c) Victims (characteristics, how to help victims) and d) Causes of violence, consequences, and prevention (how to prevent, what measures you know). The findings show limited knowledge about interpersonal violence, although they know different expressions of violence and some contexts in which it manifests itself. Likewise, it is observed that there are myths about the cause of the violence and the characteristics of the aggressors and victims, as well as about the possibility of preventing it. It is concluded that it is necessary to promote knowledge to reinforce and sensitize young people through different strategies to prevent any type of violence. Se realizó un estudio exploratorio con jóvenes acerca del significado que atribuyen a la violencia y sus tipos, características de los actores, de víctimas y agresores, las causas, consecuencias y posibilidades de prevención. Participaron 22 personas seleccionadas mediante un muestreo no probabilístico de la ciudad de Mérida, Yucatán, 10 hombres y 12 mujeres, con una edad promedio de 22.45 años y una desviación estándar de 2.32. Se realizó una entrevista estructurada conformada por 22 preguntas que exploraban los conocimiento y creencias sobre la violencia interpersonal: a) Significado (caracterización, tipos, escenarios); b) Agresores (características, lugares en que ocurre, causas para agredir, posibilidad de ayudarlos); c) Víctimas (características, cómo ayudar a víctimas) y d) Causas de la violencia, Consecuencias, y Prevención (cómo prevenir, qué medidas conoces). Los hallazgos evidencian conocimientos limitados sobre la violencia interpersonal, aunque conocen diferentes expresiones de violencia y algunos contextos en los que se manifiesta. Asimismo, se observa que existen mitos sobre la causa de la violencia y las características de los agresores y víctimas, así como sobre la posibilidad de prevenirla. Se concluye que es necesario promover el conocimiento para reforzar y sensibilizar a través de diferentes estrategias a los jóvenes para prevenir cualquier tipo de violencia.
