Abstract

A review was carried out on the object of study: The methods of modifying sexual risk behavior and reproductive function in adolescents. Judging from the number of publications in this field, it could be misleadingly stated that this topic has been extensively studied, however, there is only limited information on neuropsychological interventions. Therefore, the researchers set out to design and validate a neuropsychological intervention model for modifying sexual risk behavior and reproductive function in adolescents. For this, an original intervention was modeled through operant conditioning, which will be subject to expert evaluation, and then will be experimentally validated at the Manzanillo polyclinic No. 3, in the period from January 2021 to January 2023. The universe will be made up of adolescents between the ages of 15 to 17 years with sexual risk behavior and reproductive function, the sample units will be selected by the simple random method. The statistical test to be used will be the Cross over and the test of the signs to test the changes in relevant variables of the behavior before and after the intervention. The logical historical analysis method allowed the identification of a transcendent scientific problem: There are shortcomings in the methods for modifying sexual risk behavior and reproductive function in adolescents. The neuropsychological intervention model and the comprehensive validation methodology are exposed.
