Introduction: Among the family physician programs, one of the most important is maternal and perinatal risk prophylaxis, along with preconception reproductive risk control.
Objective: to determine the effectiveness of the application of an educational intervention program to modify the level of knowledge about preconception risk in female adolescents.
Methods: A pre-experimental study with pre-test and post-test was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness in the application of an educational intervention program to modify the level of knowledge about preconception risk in female adolescents belonging to Doctor’s Office Nr. 6 of the Health Area Máximo Gómez, of Chambas, in Ciego de Ávila, in the period from November 2022 to January 2024. The study universe consisted of 33 adolescents of childbearing age between 14 and 18 years.
Results: late adolescence and secondary school level predominated. Most participants had adequate initial levels of knowledge about contraceptive methods and preventive measures to avoid risk in pregnancy, while initial levels of knowledge on topics such as factors that constitute preconception risk and complications of preconception risk complications were very low.
Conclusions: The topics taught presented a positive and significant modification in the level of knowledge about preconception risk, so the applied training was considered effective.
