Objective To assess the short-term and long-term (6 months) impact in male adolescents of an educational intervention on the knowledge of testicular self-examination and attitude toward it.

Results The study included 139 adolescents with a median age of 14 years. We found an improvement in knowledge (18.3% vs 78.9%; P = 0.02) and attitude (5.6% vs 53.5%; P = 0.02) after the initial intervention. At the 6-month follow-up (n =98), there was no change in knowledge (87.0% vs 93.0%; P = 0.671), but attitude improved afte
