A community test-type analytical study was performed to evaluate knowledge of a group of women at fertile age, who had been interviewed during 1997, on the Conscious Motherhood and Fatherhood Program. Of 883 women, 150 pregnant women were chosen, who came from 20 family physician offices of Community Teaching Polyclinics "28 de Septiembre" and "Municiapal" in Santiago de Cuba province. The survey applied had different variables of interest. One of the most relevant results was that over half of pregnant women stated that they did not know anything about this Program because they knew it under the traditional name of Psychoprophylaxis of Delivery. The new program is just the fusion of the former with some new elements, so it is important to familiarize the population with this program in its new form as Conscious Motherhood and Fatherhood Program.
