Objective:

To design and validate an educational video for the prevention of HPV in young people, using the information, motivation and behavioral skills model.

Methodology:

The design of the present study consisted of six stages: 1.- descriptive literature review; 2.- analysis of interviews with the target population; 3.- placing the information obtained (literature and interviews) within the components of the information - motivation - behavioral skills model (IMB); 4.- script development, 5.- expert validation process, and 6.- pilot test.

Results:

Based on the previous steps, the video titled: “7 things you should know about HPV!” was designed, where two young people (a man and a woman) appear and answer, in a clear and simple way, seven questions about HPV, ending with a series of recommendations to prevent infection and promote responsible sexuality. Validation was carried out using a focus group of 10 young people gathered in an online platform and the content validity index (CVI), obtaining a value of .92, which is considered good and adequate to understand the basic aspects of HPV.

Conclusions:

The design and validation of a video for the prevention of HPV is a hermeneutical and systematic methodological process that promotes eclectic, heuristic, and innovative thinking for prevention and promotion of responsible sexuality in the young population.
