The sample consisted of 415 adolescents, 33 of whom were probabilistically selected by simple random sampling from the 23 de Diciembre Urban Basic Secondary School. Theoretical and empirical methods were employed. Results: Before implementing the educational strategy, a low level of knowledge was identified in 15 (45.5%) and 12 (36.4%) adolescents in indicators 1.1 and 1.2, respectively. According to the indicators, attitudes related to the topic were unfavorable in 11 adolescents (3.3%) and 12 adolescents (36.4%), respectively. The practices were unfavorable. After applying the educational strategy, the level of knowledge changed to favorable according to the indicators in 20 adolescents (60.6%) and 19 adolescents (57.6%).
