    Sexual Behavior of Adolescents from 15 to 19 years old Associated with the use of Contraceptive Methods
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-08-26) Pariona Quispe, Guisella Alicia; Arone Palomino, Susana Filomena
    Objective: To determine and analyze the scientific evidence on the sexual behavior of adolescents aged 15 to 19 years associated with the use of contraceptive methods. Methodology: A systematic review was conducted using virtual libraries such as Google Scholar, Redib, Redalyc, and Scielo. Results: A total of 40 articles were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Most of the articles (37) were from Latin America and the Caribbean, while only 3 were from Spain. It was evident that the main factor affecting adolescents' sexual behavior is misinformation. Additionally, many studies agree that adolescents start their sexual lives at a very early age due to social pressure, curiosity, parental issues, and more. Conclusion: Most of the analyzed articles do not show a significant relationship between the sexual behavior of adolescents aged 15 to 19 years and the use of contraceptive methods. It is concluded that adolescents lack knowledge or hold incorrect information about contraceptive methods, putting their sexual health at risk, including exposure to sexually transmitted diseases or unintended pregnancies.
