Introduction: The use and knowledge of the contraceptive methods in teenagers
differs in many ways. The above is directly related to education, the accessibility of
information and the sociodemographic conditions that characterize them.
Objective: To determine the knowledge and practices about the contraceptive
methods that teenagers in the last grade of an educational institution in Monteria
follow, in order to propose educational strategies on sexual and reproductive health
promotion oriented to this population. Tools and methods: It is a descriptive
research based in a quantitative approach, carried out on teenagers in the last
grade of an educational institution in the city of Monteria. The information was
collected through a survey of 28 closed questions. For this survey a total of 59
adolescents participated, chosen through inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results:
The knowledge and practices about the contraceptive methods that teenagers
possess is very scarce. This could negatively influence their sexual and
reproductive health. In conclusion: The results of this research allowed us to
know the shortcomings that teenagers have when it comes to being informed and
at the moment of using contraceptive methods.
