Interventions

questionary OTHER

A questionnaire, based on the main sexual health topics frequently discussed, was given to students by the school management prior to an intervention. The preventive intervention consisted of comprehensive prevention on the emotional and sexual lives of adolescents. It was carried out by health professionals and was based on questions from the students, who were able to leave their questions anonymously in a box in the school infirmary for several months. These questions were collected and used to identify several themes for discussion: emotional life, with notions of affection, love, friendship and the notion of "normality", as well as consent and sexual violence physical and sexual aspects, with reminders of the menstrual cycle, contraception, sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy and abortion. The same questionnaire was given to students after the intervention, to check whether the prevention intervention had improved their general knowledge.
