This study employed an experimental causal design to assess the effectiveness of an audiovisual communication campaign, incorporating the HBM variables. Data were collected using a questionnaire administered to a sample of 50 young participants from an at-risk population in Spain and performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software, version 26. The results showed that among groups with low HBM (LHBM) scores, there is a greater range of variation before and after for those exposed to the audiovisual communication campaign compared to groups of high HBM (HHBM)scores. In the LHBM groups, "cuesto action" and "susceptibility" were the variables most affected, whereas "severity" showed limited impact, even presenting negative changes in some cases. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is the first to address the integration of HBM elements into the design of an audiovisual communication campaign for skin cancer prevention disseminated through social media in Spain. http://hdl.handle.net/2072/488862 Communication campaign Social media Audiovisual content Skin cancer prevention Health belief model SDG 3 - Good Health and Well-being Applying a scientific-based model to the construction of an audiovisual communication campaign on social media for health prevention in Spain
