Aim: this methodological study aimed to develop and validate six educational videos to improve adolescents’ ability to identify fake news and critically seek reliable online health information.
Materials and Methods: ten adolescents and ten experts in Dentistry, Education, and Audiovisual Media participated in the study, which followed ten steps: literature review, script development, expert selection, script evaluation with an instrument, script improvement, video recording, video editing, expert evaluation through instrument and interview, feedback analysis, and final versions development.
Results: both scripts and videos scored 80% or higher in all evaluations, indicating their adequacy. Videos scored 80% or higher in content, audiovisual quality, and character portrayal. Feedback on audiovisual elements and key information was incorporated into the final versions. The average video duration was 1 minute 48 seconds.
Conclusion: both experts and adolescents found the videos a useful and valid tool for improving adolescents’ skills in identifying fake news and seeking reliable health information online.
