Effects of Peer-based Education on Adolescent Oral Health Literacy

An initial assessment will be carried out to determine the socioeconomic, demographic profile and dental data and baseline data on literacy and attitudes related to oral health through questionnaires, after which participants will be invited to participate in a cycle of oral health education activities for three months on the experimental group (peer-based education). After the experimental stage, the literacy and attitudes questionnaires related to oral health will be reapplied, so that a comparative analysis can be carried out within and between groups.
