Global Brain Health Survey_Cuba_Young Population

Between June 2019 and August 2020, Lifebrain executed the Global Brain Health Survey (GBHS) to gather insights into people's perceptions of brain health and their openness to adopting new lifestyle habits for better brain care. The survey was conducted online and offered in 14 languages to broaden its accessibility. It amassed 27,590 responses from individuals in 81 different countries. The survey aims to explore the general public's interest in brain health. Additionally, the survey delves into people’s motivations for preventing brain diseases, their willingness to participate in various brain health activities, and the type of support they would need to make lifestyle changes. Respondents are also asked to identify which public health measures they believe are most effective in promoting brain health. This data includes information from 1,049 Cuban participants who completed the survey. The ages of the participants range from 18 to 45 years, with 692 females (66%) and 357 males (34%). With the results of this study, we aim to understand the level of knowledge about the brain among a representative sample of the young population in Cuba. Some of the questions that can be answered through the analysis of this data include: what factors do young people attribute to the onset of brain diseases, what daily activities are practiced to protect the brain, and what is their willingness to undergo tests to detect the presence of brain diseases. The results can be used to design preventive actions that promote brain health and help prevent the diseases that most commonly affect the brain.
