This paper tries to describe the process of elaboration of a narrative tool (storytelling) based on theories about narrative persuasion and the transtheoretical model of Prochaska and DiClemente (1982), with the purpose that it can be used by education, health and social intervention professionals to prevent cannabis use among adolescents between 12 and 18 years of age universally and selectively. The creation process of this audiovisual tool involved the following phases: a) identify psychosocial risk profiles of cannabis use from a review of the scientific literature and interviews with professionals; b) analysis of life stories of adolescent cannabis users; c) creation of two stories based on gender; d) validation of the tool from focus groups; and e) design of an intervention proposal for professionals. In conclusion, we present the process of creating a narrative tool together with an intervention proposal based on scientific, vital and professional evidence, which aims to be useful for professionals dedicated to the field of prevention of cannabis use among adolescents.
