“…When adolescents do not understand the importance of self-care, their health is neglected. This perception of lack of interest in the participation of young people with the professionals' proposals was also reported in other realities previously researched (8,15,17) .…”

“…The search for valuing life and building citizenship should also be encouraged in PHC, guaranteeing social rights to the young individuals, strengthening their individual capacities, helping them to understand and face adverse situations, and in the search for autonomy to make healthy attitude choices (8) . Therefore, the aim of the study was to identify the perception of primary care nurses about their role in developing health actions for adolescents.…”

Objetivo: Identificar a percepção de enfermeiros da Atenção Primária sobre sua atuação no desenvolvimento de ações de saúde para adolescentes. Método: pesquisa qualitativa e descritiva, realizada em 30 Unidades Básicas de Saúde de um município do Sul do Brasil, com enfermeiros, que responderam à entrevista. Realizada análise temática, resultando em três categorias. Resultados: O conhecimento dos enfermeiros acerca das diretrizes nacionais para a atenção integral à saúde do adolescente apresenta-se restrito. Ações visando a promoção da saúde do adolescente são, em geral, preteridas pelos enfermeiros. Conclusão: A dificuldade de aproximação entre enfermeiro e adolescente na Atenção Primária se contrapõe à necessidade de vínculo entre eles. O desenvolvimento de estratégias mais efetivas de promoção à saúde, suscita a premência de capacitação profissional e de condições estruturais, que permitam ao profissional voltar seu olhar para essa população, notoriamente vulnerável.

“…Fostering community-clinic partnerships through youth-serving organizations is one strategy for reaching the most vulnerable adolescents. Such partnerships can help address barriers and improve access to sexual and reproductive health care, either through referral or service integration (17).…”

“…In addition to access, delivery of comprehensive, clientcentered, and adolescent-friendly care by well-trained providers is essential. For example, same-day initiation of long-acting reversible contraception methods (i.e., providing the method during the initial appointment) is a best practice that can facilitate adolescents' access to these methods (17). Another example is provider counseling about condom use with more effective contraceptive methods, which has been associated with adolescents' use of this prevention strategy (18).…”

Preventing unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, among adolescents is a public health priority. This report presents prevalence estimates for condom and contraceptive use among sexually active U.S. high school students from the 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Behaviors examined included any condom use, primary contraceptive method use, and condom use with a more effective contraceptive method, all reported at last sexual intercourse. Analyses were limited to sexually active students (i.e., those who had sexual intercourse with one or more persons during the 3 months before the survey). Except for any condom use, students reporting only same-sex sexual contact were excluded from analyses. Weighted prevalence estimates were calculated, and bivariate differences in prevalence were examined by demographic characteristics (sex, race/ethnicity, and grade) and other sexual risk behaviors (age of sexual initiation, previous 3-month and lifetime number of sex partners, and substance use before last sexual intercourse). Nationwide, 27.4% of high school students reported being sexually active (n = 3,226). Among sexually active students who reported having had sexual contact with someone of the opposite sex (n = 2,698), most students (89.7%) had used a condom or a primary contraceptive method at last sexual intercourse. Prevalence of any condom use at last sexual intercourse was 54.3%, and condoms were the most prevalent primary contraceptive method (43.9% versus 23.3% for birth control pills; 4.8% for intrauterine device [IUD] or implant; and 3.3% for shot, patch, or ring). Approximately 9% had used condoms with an IUD, implant, shot, patch, ring, or birth control pills. Using no pregnancy prevention method was more common among non-Hispanic black (23.2%) and Hispanic (12.8%) students compared with non-Hispanic white students (6.8%); compared with Hispanic students, using no pregnancy prevention method was more common among non-Hispanic black students. Prevalence of condom use was consistently lower among students with other sexual risk behaviors. Results underscore the need for public health professionals to provide quality sexual and reproductive health education and clinical services for preventing unintended pregnancy and STDs/HIV and decreasing disparities among sexually active youths.
