RESUMOObjetivo: Descrever e analisar os saberes e atitudes dos adolescentes sobre a contracepção.Métodos: Estudo descritivo com análise quantitativa, compreendendo uma amostra de 499 adolescentes de cinco escolas estaduais de Cuiabá, MT, utilizando-se um questionário fechado. Os dados foram processados e analisados pelo programa Epi-Info, com análises bivariadas.Resultados: Entre os adolescentes estudados, constatou-se que 36% têm vida sexual ativa, sendo o uso atual de algum método contraceptivo presente em 77% das meninas e 66% dos meninos; com relação aos métodos contraceptivos mais conhecidos pelos adolescentes, 55% declararam conhecer o preservativo juntamente com os anticoncepcionais orais e injetáveis; identificou-se entre os adolescentes sexualmente ativos que apenas 40% dos meninos e 58% das meninas conversam sempre com seus namorados(as)/parceiros(as) sobre maneiras de evitar a gravidez; 54% das meninas e 40% dos meninos declararam que quem deve usar o método contraceptivo deve ser tanto o homem quanto a mulher; a fonte de indicação dos métodos contraceptivos foram os amigos(as) para 22% dos meninos e os médicos para 36% das meninas.Conclusões: Apesar de os adolescentes apresentarem alguns conhecimentos e atitudes adequadas em relação à contracepção, ainda há a necessidade de ações de prevenção e orientação sexual, tendo em vista o relato de pouco diálogo entre os parceiros, a não adoção de métodos de prevenção em todas as relações sexuais e a ocorrência de gravidez.
