“…Regarding the side effect, the menstrual changes (increased or decreased flow, irregularity and amenorrhea) reached a higher percentage of subjects with adequate knowledge, while the alterations of the gastrointestinal system presented a lower percentage of subjects with adequate knowledge.

(24) Thus, it is a sin- gular locus, where interlocution between education and health is allowed, which leads to adolescents' greater responsibility on a subject as complex as Hansen's disease. (25) Subjects that reported cases of Hansen's disease in the family had never been examined for the disease, and the examination of contacts, an effective method for the early diagnosis and consequent interruption of the chain of transmission, was not performed.…”
