Objective: To evaluate the relevance of the preventive model for identifying the risk of osteomyoarticular lesions in young adults of an armed institution. Methods: An investigation was carried out on January 2024, which included 16 experts and 125 young adults from Santiago de Cuba province. For the model validation the experts' criteria method was used and for the evaluation of impact, the Guba and Lincoln Fourth Generation Model. Results: With similar percentage values and differences in the cut points, in both rounds, the consent got into groups in the categories of quite appropriate (25.0 %) and very appropriate (75.0 %). The result was interpreted as significant and the validation was concluded. The evaluation of impact in the preventive actions reached strong agreement (Me=8; IC 7-9) and appropriate degree of recommendation with value higher than 70.0 % of consent among assessors. Conclusions: The relevance of the model is demonstrated in the consent that reflects the capacity to guarantee precision when measuring the prospective results and the impact that projects an appropriate degree of recommendation on the proposed actions.
