We worked with an initial example of 434 students; after two screening tests, we selected 87 students who were cases (70.1%) women and (29.9%) men, from 17 to 28 years old. The research design was Quantitative, with descriptive - correlational scope. The instruments used were the Sociodemographic Tab AD.
