“…Regarding the side effect, the menstrual changes (increased or decreased flow, irregularity and amenorrhea) reached a higher percentage of subjects with adequate knowledge, while the alterations of the gastrointestinal system presented a lower percentage of subjects with adequate knowledge. The menstrual alteration is experienced in the first six months of use, with a tendency to improve the pattern in the future, and in the face of the experience, women assimilate the effect well (11) , which may have resulted in a higher adequate percentage in this research. In gastrointestinal alterations, since women do not experience this effect more intensely, they may have had communication weaknesses in order to assimilate information and have failed the health education process.…”

Objective: to evaluate the knowledge of Implanon ® users on the characteristics and side effects of the method. Methods: transversal research, with 106 Implanon ® users, with data collected through a form. For bivariate analysis, the chi-square test and the likelihood ratio test were used. Results: the majority of women (91.5%) presented adequate knowledge about the fact that the method does not offer protection against sexually transmitted diseases. Regarding the side effects, 35.8% presented moderate knowledge. Years of study showed association with inadequate knowledge about the period of exchange and absence of knowledge about side effects. Time of use did not influence inadequate knowledge about characteristics and side effects. Conclusion: the majority of users presented adequate knowledge about the characteristics of the method, years of study obtained association with inadequate knowledge about the period of exchange and lack of knowledge about side effects.

“…(23) The school space has the largest number of adolescents, and is one of the foundations of education, citizenship and formation of a society. (24) Thus, it is a sin- gular locus, where interlocution between education and health is allowed, which leads to adolescents' greater responsibility on a subject as complex as Hansen's disease. (25) Subjects that reported cases of Hansen's disease in the family had never been examined for the disease, and the examination of contacts, an effective method for the early diagnosis and consequent interruption of the chain of transmission, was not performed.…”

Objective: To construct and validate instruments for the evaluation of adolescents' knowledge about Hansen's disease and characterization of these subjects. Methods: Methodological study developed in three steps, namely: construction of instruments; face and content validation with seven judges; and semantic validation with 20 adolescents aged from 10 to 14 years. Results: There was more than 80% agreement among judges in all domains, items and components evaluated. The general agreement among judges for the instrument for evaluation of adolescents' knowledge on Hansen's disease with 14 items was 89%, and for the instrument for characterization of participants with 17 items, agreement was 93%. In the semantic validation, the instruments were considered of good understanding, and there were no diffi culties for completing them. Among adolescents, 10% reported having or having had cases of Hansen's disease in the family. Most adolescents (55%) had never heard of or received information about Hansen's disease, and most (60%) also said they did not know what Hansen's disease was. Conclusion: The instruments constructed to evaluate adolescents' knowledge about Hansen's disease and to characterize the studied population were considered valid regarding face, content and semantics. The appearance, comprehension and relevance were considered as very good or excellent in both instruments, and they can be applied to the target population. ResumoObjetivo: Construir e validar instrumentos para avaliação do conhecimento de adolescentes sobre hanseníase e caracterização dos sujeitos. Métodos: Pesquisa metodológica, desenvolvida em três etapas, a saber: construção dos instrumentos; validação de face e conteúdo com sete juízes; e validação semântica com 20 adolescentes, de 10 a 14 anos. Resultados: Houve concordância superior a 80% entre os juízes quanto a todos os domínios, itens e componentes avaliados. A concordância geral entre os juízes para o instrumento de avaliação do conhecimento de adolescentes sobre hanseníase, com 14 itens, foi de 89% e do instrumento para caracterização dos participantes, com 17 itens, foi de 93%. Na validação semântica, os instrumentos foram considerados com boa compreensão, e não houve difi culdades para seu preenchimento. Entre os adolescentes, 10% afi rmaram ter ou ter tido casos de hanseníase na família. A maioria dos adolescentes (55%) nunca tinha ouvido falar ou tinha recebido informações sobre hanseníase, assim como a maioria (60%) afi rmou não saber o que era a hanseníase. Conclusão: Os instrumentos construídos para avaliar o conhecimento de adolescentes sobre hanseníase e caracterizar a população estudada foram considerados válidos quanto à face, ao conteúdo e à semântica. Ambos os instrumentos apresentaram aparência, compreensão e relevância consideradas muito boas ou excelentes, podendo ser aplicados ao público de estudo.
