Adolescence is usually the age of contradictions and misunderstandings, all this together with misinformation and lack of sexual education, makes it possible for adolescents to believe that they are able to conceive. A quasi-experimental study (educational intervention) was carried out with the objective of raising the level of knowledge in adolescents with the implementation of an educational program on pregnancy in CMF 32, Viñales municipality, during the period from January 2021 to March 2022. The sample consisted of 44 female adolescents. A survey was applied before and after the intervention that collected the variables: age, level of knowledge about the appropriate age to have the first child, contraceptive methods and the consequences of pregnancy. The data were processed through a frequency analysis (%) and the nonparametric test of the sign test was applied to evaluate the modifications in the knowledge of the adolescents before and after the intervention. It was possible to increase knowledge about pregnancy in the adolescents under study. It was obtained that 100 % of the adolescents have knowledge on topics such as: pregnancy in adolescence, optimal age of pregnancy, contraceptive methods and complications with a lower level of risk to the fetus. A total of 93,2 % know about contraceptive methods, thus reducing the number of adolescent pregnancies, as well as the formation of the first group of health promoters.
