| description | <p><strong>Foundation</strong>: oral cancer is a global health problem; in this sense, it is necessary to identify the population’s learning needs from an early age.<br /><strong>Objective</strong>: to characterize the information level about oral cancer in college prep students.<br /><strong>Methods</strong>: a descriptive study was carried out on students from the Roberto Rodríguez college prep school, in the Morón municipality, Ciego de Ávila province, from January 2022 to January 2023. The entire universe was (N =183). Absolute and relative frequencies, as well as measures of central tendency and dispersion, were used as measures to summarize the information.<br /><strong>Results</strong>: there was a slight predominance of the female sex (51.9%) and those who were in twelfth grade (35.0%). Smoking was the most common risk factor (30.6%). In the overall rating, 104 (56.8%) students were evaluated as inadequate. 44.8% of young people identified the mass media as ways to obtain information.<br /><strong>Conclusions</strong>: inadequate levels of information were identified in most of the survey categories, which demonstrates the need to carry out educational strategies related to oral cancer, with the aim of increasing the cognitive level about this disease.</p> |
