| Summary: | Objective: To evaluate the knowledge that adolescents have about contraceptive methods during a pre-test and post-test period. Material and method: The study was quasi-experimental, longitudinal, descriptive. A sample of 90 high school and high school students who met the inclusion criteria was taken. The sampling was probabilistic by clusters, groups of adolescents were chosen. They signed the informed consent. The educational intervention was three stages: Pre-test stage, where a questionnaire was applied; educational intervention with six sessions; and post-test stage. The instrument used was “Level of knowledge about the use of contraceptive methods in adolescents” by Dávalos N. Ríos A. Ruiz L. (2015), with a Cronbach's Alpha of .73. Results: The average was 14 years (SD = 1,190), a minimum of 13 years and a maximum of 18 years with secondary and high school education, predominantly male (52%). In the application of the pre-test, 14.4% of adolescents had an adequate level of knowledge, and 85.6% had an inadequate level of knowledge. In the post-test, 96.6% had an adequate level of knowledge, and 3.4% had an inadequate level of knowledge. Conclusion: At the end of the educational intervention there was a notable increase in knowledge about contraceptive methods in adolescents. |
