LEYVA RAMIREZ, Niolisday et al. Knowledge modification to sexually reproductive health in adolescents with pre-conception risk. MEDISAN [online]. 2011, vol.15, n.3, pp.323-329. ISSN 1029-3019.

A teaching intervention in 30 adolescents with pre-conception risk attended at the Birth Control and Reproductive Health Department from ¨Josué País García¨ University Polyclinic in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from January, 2007 to December, 2007, in order to modify their sexual health knowledge. Inadequate instruction about teenage pregnancy, artificial abortion, contraceptive methods, and sexually transmitted infections were predominant in the series. This behavioral pattern was successfully modified after the educational strategy, since most of the adolescents acquired new ideas about this issue or improved the ones they had already learned.

Keywords : adolescent; sexually reproductive health; teaching intervention; teenage pregnancy; contraceptive methods; sexually transmitted infections; primary health care.
