PMID 39607193WHAT IT FOUND
Adolescents in a Brazilian soccer program condemned gender violence but normalized physical violence among boys.
They co-created a documentary to disseminate prevention messages via social media, emphasizing peer-led engagement and visual storytelling over traditional clinical advice.
Key findings
01Participants condemned gender violence but showed less disapproval of physical violence among men.
02The documentary was co-created by adolescents who chose video formats and social networks as the preferred dissemination methods.
03The final documentary included Brazilian Sign Language translation to ensure inclusivity, prompted by participants who use sign language.

What it does not show
Results cannot be generalized to other populations or contexts. The final documentary was not reviewed by the original participants, missing an opportunity for feedback. Reliance on social media for dissemination excludes adolescents without internet access. No follow-up data exists to determine if the documentary changed behavior or knowledge.
The easy way to misread this
Do not interpret the creation of this documentary as evidence that it reduces adolescent violence. The study reports the development process and participant perceptions, but no outcome data on violence rates or behavioral change were collected.
