  In this work, we study 5-dimensional braneworld scenarios in the
scalar-tensor representation of the generalized hybrid metric-Palatini
gravitational theory. We start by considering a model for a brane supported
purely by the gravitational scalar fields of the theory and then consider other
distinct cases where the models are also supported by an additional matter
scalar field. We investigate the stability of the gravity sector and show that
the models are all robust against small fluctuations of the metric. In
particular, in the presence of the additional scalar field, we find that the
profile of the gravitational zero mode may be controlled by the parameters of
the model, being also capable of developing internal structure.
