Item Conocimiento y uso de métodos anticonceptivos en adolescentes de una institución educativa. Cali 2018B(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Jiménez Mina, Brenda Jazmín; Feijoo Izquierdo, Eliana Lorena; Rivera Romero, Viviana (Directora)Adolescents and youth face vulnerabilities and risks in their sexual and reproductive life that expose them to problematic events such as teenage pregnancy. This is why the Ministry of Health affirms that youth motherhood has a greater representation in poor communities, reproduces the cycle of poverty and has as a consequence for society a high loss of population with possibilities of education and productivity, which ultimately affects social exclusion. Our study is quantitative with a descriptive observational approach, whose purpose was to identify the knowledge and use of contraceptive methods in adolescents of the tenth and eleventh grade in the morning session of a public institution in Santiago de Cali, for the collection of the information a validated Auto-administered survey was used. With which we obtained the following results, a large percentage of adolescents that corresponds to 51.4% said they know the different methods of contraception while 48.6% are in error and have a wrong knowledge, as to the use of them there are different perceptions and answer what makes us see that what is said is not congruent with what is practiced in the daily life of adolescents. That is why we emphasize that there is a problem of ignorance and use, which responds to our research.
