Sumario:Early age pregnancy is a public health phenomenon with specific hues when it comes about in rural contexts. In Yucatan, institutional strategies have been unfolded for its eradication in the childhood population and prevention in adolescents. In this article, I carry through an analysis that arises since the voices of young female university students linked to an institutional project, and from their experiences in the task of intervening towards the prevention of early age pregnancy by means of replicas of conceptual workshops guided at secondary school students from rural contexts. This experience was important for the young women, because it led them to know, question and reflect on their own ideas about pregnancy at an early age, but as usually happens in institutional interventions, the strategy had limitations to observe its transcendence in the trainers, and in the population of students to whom the actions were directed.
