Institucion que puede brindarte orientaciones sobre tu sexualidad para la toma de decisiones responsable y el cuidado de tu salud sexual y reproductiva?

Objective : Sexual and reproductive health is a social construct easy to understand and use by adolescents.

This research focuses on the knowledge, attitudes and practices of a group of adolescents in the general population.

Methods : A correlational study by random simple sampling was performed among 14 to 19 years old adolescents in the city of Bucaramanga, Colombia.

Results : Good information for adolescents on sexual and reproductive health is highlighted but a questionable exercise of their autonomy is seen, especially on pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases prevention methods.

Conclusions : This group reported a good insight about their health but denotes problematic aspects around the family and social relationships, the low impact of education on sexual and reproductive health and a disastrous perception on policies, programs and levels of care to adolescents from public institutions.
