    The objective was to evaluate the relationship between the level of knowledge and attitude toward the use of medicinal plants for acute respiratory infections (ARIs) among residents of the Año Nuevo Human Settlement in the Comas district. Methodology: This was a hypothetical-deductive study with a quantitative approach and a cross-sectional observational design. The sample consisted of 384 residents selected by probabilistic sampling. Data collection was performed using a questionnaire for knowledge and a Likert scale for attitude; both were validated by expert judgment and deemed reliable (KR-20 = 0.752 and Cronbach's α = 0.709). Spearman's Rho and Chi-squared tests were used to determine the correlation. Result: 68.2% presented a medium level of knowledge. A significant difference was found between the level of knowledge and sex, age, and occupation (p < 0.05). 91.1% had a positive attitude, which correlated significantly with sex, educational level, and marital status (p < 0.05). Furthermore, a significant relationship was found between the level of knowledge and attitude (p < 0.05). Conclusion: A relationship exists between the level of knowledge and attitude toward the use of medicinal plants for ARIs among the surveyed residents, demonstrating that a higher level of knowledge leads to an increased positive attitude.
