Abstract

The "Blue November" movement is a national campaign aimed at men's health, focusing on prostate cancer prevention and combating men's prejudice in seeking medical attention. It began in Australia in 2003 as "Movember" and arrived in Brazil in 2008. Recently, a qualitative intervention was carried out at UNINTA college in Sobral, with a lecture and dynamics to raise awareness among professionals about the importance of preventive care. The initiative seeks to promote a more holistic and preventive approach to men's health.
