What this trial studies
This project aims to enhance the inclusive representation of reproductive processes in Spanish audiovisual fiction by developing a handbook of good practices for scriptwriters and audiovisual creators. It will involve focus groups with individuals who have experienced reproductive processes and in-depth interviews with healthcare professionals. The goal is to create narratives that reflect diverse experiences and challenge traditional socio-cultural structures surrounding topics like menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. The research will be conducted in collaboration with experts in gynecology, midwifery, and audiovisual storytelling.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this initiative could lead to more accurate and inclusive portrayals of reproductive health in media, improving emotional well-being and quality of life for individuals experiencing these processes.
How similar studies have gone: While there is ongoing discourse about representation in media, this approach is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in the context of reproductive processes in Spanish fiction.
