O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever a experiência de extensão do projeto “Saúde do Adolescente: educação sexual, contracepção e infecções sexualmente transmissíveis”. Este relato apresenta a trajetória metodológica e experiências acadêmicas de atividades educativas desenvolvidas no programa educacional “Pequeno Cientista”, coordenado pela Casa da Ciência da Fundação Hemocentro de Ribeirão Preto, no período de 2017 a 2019. O projeto contou com a participação de 23 alunos da rede básica de ensino, orientados por pós-graduandos e docentes da Escola de Enfermagem de Ribeirão Preto. As atividades foram desenvolvidas semestralmente em pequenos grupos, com a realização de um encontro semanal de uma hora de duração, consumando o total de 12 encontros. Foram empregados como recursos: aulas expositivas argumentativas e práticas, dinâmica de grupo, jogos didáticos, infográficos e vídeos. Os adolescentes participaram ativamente das atividades propostas e realizaram a simulação de vivências através de teatro, elaboraram histórias em quadrinhos e redações. A aproximação da temática com a realidade dos estudantes, por meio de estratégias pedagógicas alternativas propiciou a apropriação de conhecimentos, assimilação de conceitos e a reflexão crítica a respeito da importância da educação sexual na adolescência, favorecendo a adoção de práticas de comportamento preventivo. O desenvolvimento das atividades educacionais contribuiu significativamente para o processo de formação dos adolescentes e difusão de conhecimentos, além de contribuir com a formação e aproximação com a comunidade, e aprimoramento didático do pós-graduando para o exercício da docência e desenvolvimento de atividades de extensão. Palavras-chave: Gravidez na Adolescência, Prevenção Primária, Relações Comunidade-Instituição, Ensino Sexuality education for adolescents: a report of three years on "small scientist" program Abstract: This study aims to report the extension program's experience: "Adolescent Health: sexuality education, contraception, and sexually transmitted infection." The paper presents a methodological direction and academic experiences of educational activities developed on the "Small Scientist" education program. The House of Science (Casa da Ciência) at Hemocentro Foundation of Ribeirão Preto conducted the activities from 2017 to 2019. The total number of participants was 23 students from elementary and high school. They were carried out by graduate students and professors of Ribeirão Preto School of Nursing – University of São Paulo (EERP/USP). The activities were developed biannually in small groups and one-hour weekly meetings – counting 12 days. The students could learn from argumentative and practical expositive lessons, group dynamics, educational games, and videos throughout the extension program. The adolescents joyfully participated in the proposed activities, played performances, and wrote comics and essays. The approach of the theme with the students' reality provided: the appropriation of knowledge, assimilation of concepts, and critical reflection on the relevance of sex education. Therefore, the program encouraged the adoption of preventive behavior practices by adolescents through alternative pedagogical strategies. As a result, the development of educational activities has contributed significantly to the instruction process for adolescents and the dissemination of knowledge on it. Moreover, it contributes to the training, can reach the non-academic community, and helps the didactic material improvement of the graduate student for the practice of teaching and development of extension program.

“…Notably, however, the Amenah intervention does explicitly address several of these issues, including patriarchal gender norms, drivers of early marriage, access to health services, stigma around girls' SRH and adolescent disempowerment [46]. Finally, due to gender norms and stigmatization of premarital sex, we were only able to measure knowledge, rather than attitudinal or behavioral outcomes, though studies elsewhere have shown that SRH knowledge in adolescence may be protective against high-risk sexual practices in adulthood [48,49].…”

Adolescent Syrian refugee girls living in Lebanon are vulnerable to poor sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Sociocultural norms, stigmatization, and limited educational opportunities in the context of forced displacement may impact adolescent girls’ SRH. Little is known about how and where girls in this population access SRH information and services. This study aimed to: (1) assess knowledge of SRH topics among a population of adolescent Syrian refugee girls displaced in Lebanon, and (2) determine the association of schooling versus maternal SRH communication with SRH knowledge. A total of 418 11-17-year-old Syrian refugee girls displaced in the Beqaa region of Lebanon were recruited to participate in a cross-sectional survey. Bivariate logistic regression and ordinary least squares regression models were used to examine the associations between schooling, maternal SRH communication, and other covariates with SRH knowledge outcomes. Significant predictors (p<0.2) were included in multivariate analyses. The mean age of girls was 13.4 years. Approximately two thirds of our sample was enrolled in school, with enrollment rates dropping considerably around age 15. In bivariate and multivariate models, older age and participation in SRH programs were predictive of puberty knowledge. One in five girls enrolled in school had learned about menstruation in school, which was associated with higher puberty knowledge in bivariate models. Older age, current school enrollment, and reaching the 8th-11th grade were strongly associated with HIV knowledge. Schooling is more strongly associated with SRH knowledge among adolescent girls than is maternal communication. School-based SRH curricula should be administered on the basis of age and not grade, given significant age-for-grade heterogeneity in this population. Forced displacement and poverty are major barriers to education retention and may have long-term impacts on girls’ health.
