This paper aims to understand how and to what extent interdisciplinary teams supporting public schools in the Brazilian and Portuguese context characterize and develop violence prevention actions. The research was carried out from an exploratory study through interviews with 24 professionals and later, a thematic analysis was done. The results indicate that prevention is always pointed out as a possibility in the Portuguese Program; in the Brazilian program, in addition to prevention-oriented discourses, limits regarding the realization of preventive activities in schools are also mentioned. In the locations investigated, flagged prevention actions are shown incipiently when compared to actions advocated by the WHO and the Pan American Health Organization. It is argued that a more strategic vision of the Ministry of Education and the Education Secretariats could contribute to avoid the sole accountability of schools concerning prevention of violence and thus enhance the decline of this phenomenon and favor its effects in the long term.

The accused is a civic volunteer who is said to have frequented the hospital as a tout, fleecing patients by promising to get them a bed or help them get tests done for free or at discounted rates [1]. However, following the incident, the protests by doctors, mostly resident doctors' associations across the country, zeroed in on protection for doctors and health workers from violence and attacks by patients through a central law as one of their main demands [2].
