adolescentes entre los 15 a 19 años, del AAHH Bello Horizonte y 92 del

fiabilidad aceptable (Alfa de Cronbach 0.68) la que se operacionaliza en
riesgo alto, medio y bajo.
RESULTADOS: La población de adolescentes estudiada presenta entre
los 18 a 19 años (65.2%), de sexo femenino (53.0%), con antecedente de

la COVID 19, el 32.8% con un riesgo medio y el 17.7% con alta
percepción de riesgo.
La baja percepción de riesgo hacia el COVID 19, se asocia a una mayor
