Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in 164 students, who participated in the investigation of suspected cases of COVID 19 coronavirus disease. They were surveyed in three polyclinics from two municipalities in Havana, Cuba, from May to June, 2020.
Conclusions: The students recognize the importance of the research at the same time that they express concerns, which is not expressed by all or the majority, though.
