Keywords:
information mediation, violence, health promotionAbstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the potential of information mediation as a health promotion strategy in combating violence. This is an exploratory-descriptive, qualitative study developed through a literature search structured around three conceptual axes: information mediation, health promotion, and violence as a public health problem. The results of the literature review point to connections between the dialogical, aesthetic, educational, ethical, and political dimensions of information mediation and the principles of health promotion, especially those related to participation, autonomy, information appropriation, and the exercise of rights. It is concluded that information mediation proves to be a significant means toward promoting citizenship, social agency, democracy, and the exercise of the right to health.
