BACKGROUND: Mental health literacy was defined as knowledge and beliefs about mental disorders that help in their recognition, management or prevention. National and international studies show low mental health in adolescents' mental health and the need to develop psychoeducational interventions on anxiety in the school context. AIM: To evaluate the content validity of the psychoeducational intervention to promote mental health literacy on anxiety of adolescents in a school context: “ProLiSMental”. METHODS: Complex interventions according to the Medical Research Council Framework. The design of the “ProLiSMental” psychoeducational intervention was submitted to content validity assessment through a modified e-Delphi with experts. Criteria for selecting experts, consensus criteria and guiding questions were defined. Ethical considerations were guaranteed. RESULTS: 25 national and international experts with a high level of expertise participated and consensus criteria were obtained in the 1st round, registering agreement on the answers to all questions (100%) and high agreement on the answers to 8 questions (57,1%). CONCLUSIONS: The content of the “ProLiSMental” psychoeducational intervention was validated, consisting of 4 sessions of 90 minutes, using different teaching methods and techniques. It is expected that this psychoeducational intervention will promote the empowerment of adolescents to access, understand and use information about mental health that will help them to prevent, recognize and manage anxiety.
