Human fasciolosis is an important parasitic disease with some degree of incidence as an important zoonotic disease in Peru and other Latin American countries. Based on this problem, the purpose of the present investigation is to determine the effectiveness of educational sessions as a preventive measure on fasciolosis/cysticercosis/hydatidosis in families from the town of Yamos, district of Huacrachuco, Peru, during the year 2021. Results were collected of the 122 interviewee's knowledge on these diseases, both before and after they passed the educational sessions. The results were processed with the support of the t-Student test for paired samples for determining if there was a significant improvement in the level of knowledge. Additionally, we compared the level of knowledge with other factors, like genre and educational level. The main results obtained were the level of knowledge of the families after the educational sessions as a preventive measure, where 65 (53.28%) had a medium level and 57 (46.72%) had a high level of knowledge. No family with a low level of knowledge was found. From which it is possible to conclude the effectiveness of educational sessions as a preventive measure in the level of knowledge about fasciolosis/cysticercosis/hydatidosis in families.
