Abstract

A comparative study was carried out objectifying to learn the level of information on smoking among

students in the initial and final terms of biomedical graduation courses at the Federal University of Espírito Santo. Data

were collected in February 2004 by means of a questionnaire and statistically analysed. The results showed a median

percentage of 66.7% correct answers, and medical students obtained a correctness rate of 71% (p<0.01) in relation to other

courses. Average correct answers among the undergraduates in the initial and final terms disclosed a significant difference

(p<0.05), being higher among final-term students. The number of correct answers was higher among students who had the

subject approached in more disciplines.
