Objective:Intervention evaluation strategies of Health Education for students in a municipal school in Santos. The themes chosen were sexual health, nutrition and dengue. Methodology:This is an intervention study. The study included a group of 20 fifth year students, a group of 13 sixth year students, a group of 22 eighth year students, and a group of 17 ninth year students. One of the themes outlined in the objective was chosen for each group. The theme of sexual health was divided into STD's/HIV, and teenage pregnancy with methods of contraception. The study was conducted in workshops and lectures and the evaluation was made by applying two questionnaires. The first with demographic data and the second theme-specific issues. These questionnaires were applied before and after the interventions to evaluate knowledge gain, and were measured by the McNemar statistical test. The level of significance considered was 0.05. Results: During the sexual health educational sessions, the results were significant after the interventions with respect to the number of STDs knows (p<0.05), breast feeding (p<0.05) as a means of transmission (p<0.05), knowledge of fertile periods (p<0.05), and the vaginal ring (p<0.05) and adhesives (p<0.05) as a contraceptive method. With regard to dengue, only the knowledge that people can get dengue four times showed a significant trend (p<0.07). With respect to nutritional health, there was a slight improvement of consumption patterns, however, only the consumption of red meat at lunch showed a difference (p<0.05). Conclusions:The workshops proved to be especially effective, as this was where a greater change in knowledge was found, yet continuity and systematization of educational activities is still needed. It is hoped that these teenagers will in turn pass on this information, contributing to an improvement in health indices.
