| Background: Electronic sexual harassment (ESH) is a controversial issue causing physical, social as well as psychosocial negative effects on preparatory students which consequently can deteriorate their academic achievements. Aim: Evaluate the effect of educational intervention on preventive measures against electronic sexual harassment among preparatory students. Design: A quasi-experimental design [pretest -posttest] was utilized. Setting: Three preparatory schools randomly selected by multistage cluster sampling from the two educational administrations of Zagazig City. Sample: A random sample of 150 students was recruited. Tools: A self-administered questionnaire consists of four parts; (1) Interview Questionnaire Sheet, (2) Students’ Knowledge Regarding ESH, (3) Students’ Preventive Measures and Protection Practices Toward ESH, and (4) Sexual Harassment Coping Behaviors Subscale. Results: Revealed that the mean age of the students was 8.8158±2.38254, and about 68.00% of them were females, 15.9% had good knowledge before the educational program, the percentage improved to 78.2% after the educational program, the total preventive measures and protection practices toward electronic sexual harassment scores increased from 32.5% at the pre-phase to 80.9% after the educational program, the percent of the total scores regarding coping behaviors against electronic sexual harassment increased from 24.1 % at the pre-phase to 75.9 % after the educational program.
