Planejamento familiar: uso dos serviços de saúde por jovens com experiência de gravidez

Repercussão da iniciação sexual na vida sexual e reprodutiva de jovens de capital do Nordeste brasileiro

“…Regrettably, this partnership was not evidenced in this study, because in addition to the lack of family participation in the debate on issues related to the STIs and pregnancy prevention, many young women also did not use health services as a source of information. This fact contradicts research recommendations that health professionals should advise adolescents on the correct use of CMs before they become sexually active as an effective way of avoiding unwanted pregnancies in this age group 15,26 .
