Abstract

Introduction: the pregnancy in the adolescence has several adverse consequences, either physical or psychosocial in the youngest teenagers (15-16 years), mainly the ones that belong to the disadvantaged class.
Objective:
to evaluate its influence in order to diminish pregnancy in the adolescence.
Method:
it was performed a program of intervention for the teenagers with pregnancy risk in the family medical office #3, at "Ramón Heredia Umpierre", polyclinic. It was selected a sample of 50 patients, after the application of an initial questionnaire that explored the existence of validated risk factors. There were taught 10 educational activities of 45 minutes and a weekly frequency. It was applied a program directed to increase the knowledge about the subject and it was determined its influence on some modifiable factors.
Results:
the group of age between the 14-16 years prevailed. Initially the level of unsuitable knowledge was about 72 %, increasing at the end of the study in 96%, what showed the efficiency of the program. The lack of knowledge about the safer contraceptive methods was about 15% at the beginning of the program and increased in 35% at the end of it. The results were organized in data association charts and it was used the percentage like summary measure.
Conclusions:
the educational strategy applied was valid but not 100 % reliable to avoid pregnancy in the adolescence, but if complemented with other intervention techniques, it could be very effective.
