Resumo
This cross-sectional study, analytical approach, was conducted between March 2012 to March 2014, with adolescent aged 12 to 18 stratified into two age groups, early stage - 12 to 14 years (G1) and middle and late stages - 15 to 18 years (G2), enrolled in seven institutions from primary state and municipal education in the municipality of São Luís de Montes Belos – Goiás, with the aim of investigating the risk behavior and knowledge of adolescent sexuality. The participants answered a structured questionnaire (USDHHS – CDC, 1999) and the data were analyzed using SPSS version 17. Of the 1230 adolescents, 623 belonged to female and 607 male. Most of described them self-declared brown colored, nearly half declared evangelicals, with an income equal to or less than three minimum wages and living with the family. Most males practiced physical activity as an occupation or extracurricular activity, while the girls attended religious groups. On sexual behavior and use of contraception in first sexual intercourse excelled in males; more than half cited condom use at first intercourse with female predominance (G1: 76,2%; G2: 64,4%); the reason for not using condoms most cited by the boys did not expect/not bothered (G1: 68,0%, G2: 60,9%), while for girls it was the confidence in partner (G1: 60,0%; G2: 43,7%); more than half of the adolescents did not use any other method of contraception beyond condoms at first sexual intercourse; condom use at last intercourse was also cited by over half of adolescents, highlighting the boys (G2: 67,0%). Regarding the number of lifetime sexual partners, most boys reported having had more than two sexual partners, while girls only one partner, though they have reported more experience of pregnancy (G2: 9,4%). The most used and best known contraceptive was the condom, where boys use (G1: 86,5%; G2: 73,3%) and know (G1: 98,1%; G2: 100%) more than girls, unlike the "pill" had greater knowledge among adolescents (G1: 61,8%; G2: 89,6%); HIV/Aids was the best known DST. Alcohol was the most commonly used drug. The school, friends (as) and the parents were cited as sources of information about sexuality and friends and parents were cited as the people most talked about sexuality. In relation to access to health services for adolescents, more than half reported being user; sought more for doctor visits and immunization. A small portion had access to condoms, making the most bought in the pharmacy; another small portion had access to nursing consultation and sexual orientation. Given our results, it is necessary to the proper use of school space for the development of education programs for adolescent health, intended for students, parents and teachers through interdisciplinary activities between segments of health and education.
