El propósito de este estudio fue examinar actitudes y conocimientos sobre lactancia materna de las mujeres y hombres cursando estudios universitarios. Los datos se tomaron de 111 mujeres y 50 hombres. Los datos mostraron una relación significativa entre las actitudes positivas hacia la lactancia materna y exposición a lactancia materna. Las mujeres y participantes mayores de 20 años tenían puntajes más altos en la medición de conocimiento y actitudes. Los resultados indican que una actitud positiva hacia la lactancia materna fue un factor significativo precursor de la intención de lactancia materna entre hombres y mujeres. En conclusión, los resultados sugieren que el entendimiento de las actitudes de los adultos jóvenes es un área importante de investigación. Se necesitan más estudios para desarrollar y evaluar intervenciones dirigidas a mejorar las actitudes sobre lactancia materna e incrementar la iniciación de la lactancia materna en esta población.
