ABSTRACT

Introduction: The world panorama shows an increase in adolescents’ unhealthy inadequate behaviors, such as starting sexual intercourse early, the high incidence of sexually transmitted infections and the consumption of toxic substances. All this might be influenced by the presence of factors related with the environment the adolescent are raised in, among them the family and community.
Objective: To identify the educational needs about sexually transmitted infections and toxic substances consumption in adolescents at ages 12-15 years residents of the Old Havana Municipality (Cuba).
Methods: Qualitative research carried out in the academic year 2014-2015. The adolescents’ opinion was assessed by the realization of a nominal group. The information was analyzed and classified by the authors into signification units.
Results: Fiver categories were defined: increasing knowledge about the risk for sexually transmitted infections, increasing knowledge about the practices for preventing sexually transmitted infections, receiving information about the consequences of toxic substances consumption, updating and increasing knowledge about the condom’s adequate use, and how to talk about sexuality and toxic habits in the home, the school and the neighborhood.
Conclusions: The categories that obtained the highest marking and among the first priorities for developing an educational intervention strategy were: receiving information about the consequences of toxic substances consumption, increasing knowledge about the practices for preventing sexually transmitted infections, and how to talk about sexuality and toxic habits in the home, the school and the neighborhood.
