Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational strategy to raise awareness about antimicrobial resistance with a “One Health” approach, in Medical Offices No. 8 and 10 of the Pedro Borrás Astorga Polyclinic, Pinar del Río. Methods: a pre-experimental study was carried out, with a pretest/posttest design, during the period January-April 2024. From a universe of 1,703 people, a sample of 124 was selected, using intentional non-probabilistic sampling. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used.

At initial diagnosis, 57.1% of people had an inadequate level of information, with a predominance of the indicators: food safety (77.4%), rational use of medicines (75.0%) and prevention and control of communicable diseases (66.9%); after the educational intervention, the information level was raised in 90.4% of people.
