Conclusions:
Among the participants of interventions in the campus courtyards, a
high percentage of unhealthy habits were observed.
Such activities capture a significant number of people who do not
consult spontaneously (asymptomatic and unaware of their
consumption habits).
Awareness coupled with a brief intervention, may provoke the
acquiring of new habits and behavior change in the future.
