Abstract

Introduction: Teenage pregnancy is a public health problem that mainly affects developing countries. We are currently working on educational strategies that have proven to be efficient in containing this problem.

Objective: Identify educational strategies associated with the reduction of teenage pregnancy in Latin America between 2010-2019

Methods: A bibliographic search was carried out in databases as Scopus, PubMed, SciELO and LILACS, and manual review in Google Scholar, using MeSH terms as: pregnancy, health education, prevention and adolescent. The methodological quality of the articles was carried out with critical reading based on the CASPe tool.

Conclusions: Educational strategies for sexuality in adolescents are considered necessary to generate protective changes and reduce the danger of risky sexual behaviors. Their impact in the medium and long term are yet to be defined.
