Currently, early stimulation in infants under one year of age is gaining greater importance, as during this period, their brain develops much of its potential. This should be fostered, considering that 13% of the total population are infants under one year old, and insufficient knowledge among mothers regarding early stimulation could lead to problems in their growth and development. The present research study, titled "Knowledge of Adolescent Mothers on Early Stimulation for Infants under One Year of Age in the CRED Service at San Bartolomé Hospital, May-August 2011," aimed to determine the level of knowledge of adolescent mothers regarding early stimulation for infants under one year of age. It is a quantitative study with a descriptive method and a cross-sectional design. A non-probabilistic intentional sampling method was used; the sample size consisted of 70 mothers included in the study. The technique employed was the interview, with a questionnaire as the instrument, which was validated through expert judgment and subjected to a pilot test for statistical reliability. Subsequently, the data collection was carried out, and the data were processed to be presented in statistical graphs for analysis and interpretation, leading to the following conclusion: adolescent mothers of infants under one year of age attending the CRED service have an average level of knowledge regarding early stimulation activities.
