The students also revealed that the most effective social network was the video, watched by WhatsApp and based on the Pearson Correlation, regarding the diagnosis and treatment of HPV; the knowledge of the students who received the intervention increased considerably, in relation to what they showed before and a strong and positive relationship was observed.
