Objective: to perform the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the educational booklet "Prevention of sexual violence at school" for the reality of Costa Rica. Method: methodological study conducted with 61 adolescents between 10 and 13 years old; two Costa Rican translators, two Brazilian translators, one professional in Spanish linguistics, one professional in Brazilian linguistics and seven judges. The data collection period was carried out between the months of June to December 2017.
