ABSTRACT
Introduction: The adolescent and youth population are a priority group in terms of sexual health promotion, given that their main problems are due to risk behaviors, which has been established as a priority by states in the Latin American and Caribbean region. Objective: To explore what research has been done on interventions based on the promotion of sexual health in adolescents and young people in Latin America and the Caribbean. Material and method: A literature review was conducted based on Arksey and O'Malley's Scoping Review design. The search was carried out in PubMed, Scopus, Scien Direct, EBSCO, Scielo and Redalyc indexes and databases. Results: It was found that most of the selected studies were carried out in Colombia and Cuba and the methodological approach most used was qualitative. The most relevant findings were grouped into three areas: initial evaluation, intervention and final evaluation. Conclusions: The panorama of interventions for the promotion of sexual health in adolescents and young people shows little production in Latin America and the Caribbean. It is necessary to increase it and define relevant strategies to improve sexual health conditions in this particular population.REFERENCES
