Objetivo: avaliar o nível de conhecimento de escolares sobre Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis e métodos contraceptivos. Método: trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, tipo pesquisa-ação, com 153 escolares na faixa etária dos 11 aos 16 anos, de ambos os sexos, que responderam a um questionário, em seguida, empregou-se a análise estatística simples dos dados. Resultados: revela-se que 94,1% dos discentes disseram saber, pelo menos, uma maneira de prevenir-se de uma gravidez, sendo a camisinha masculina conhecida por 86,9% dos entrevistados e a “pílula do dia seguinte”, por 80,4%. Pontua-se, sobre o que são as infecções sexualmente transmissíveis, que 15,7% não souberam responder; 22,9% afirmaram não conhecer nenhum meio de prevenção; 61,4% não souberam relatar nenhum possível sintoma; 24,2% declararam desconhecer os agravamentos se não tratados e 41,9% dos entrevistados disseram achar possível estar contaminados com alguma, sem ter o conhecimento desse fato. Conclusão: percebe-se a precariedade das informações que escolares possuem sobre a temática da sexualidade. Aponta-se, assim, a necessidade de conscientizá-los sobre os riscos a que estão expostos ao assumir uma prática sexual precoce sem um preparo adequado.

Method: this is a qualitative, action research study, with 153 schoolchildren aged 11 to 16 years, of both sexes, who answered a questionnaire, and then the simple statistical analysis of the data was used. Results: it appears that 94.1% of students said they know at least one way to prevent pregnancy, with male condom known by 86.9% of respondents and the "morning after pill" by 80.4%. Regarding sexually transmitted infections, 15.7% could not answer; 22.9% said they did not know any means of prevention; 61.4% could not report any possible symptoms; 24.2% said they were unaware of the aggravations if left untreated and 41.9% of respondents said they thought it was possible to be contaminated with some without being aware of this fact. Conclusion: the precariousness of the information that students have about the theme of sexuality is perceived. Thus, there is a need to make them aware of the risks they face when engaging in early sexual practice without proper preparation.

Background Rates of sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancies are disproportionately high among African American adolescents and young adults (AYA). New media platforms such as social networking sites, microblogs, online video sites, and mobile phone applications may be a promising approach in promoting safe sex and preventing sexually transmitted infections. Objective The purpose of this scoping review was to address promising approaches in new media that may serve as valuable tools in health promotion, prevention, education, and intervention development aimed at African American AYA. Methods An electronic search was conducted using Google Scholar, Scopus, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health (CINHAL), and PubMed online databases. Concept blocks and MeSH terminology were used to identify articles around African American youth and new media. Results The search yielded 1169 articles, and 16 publications met the criteria. Studies from the review found themes in new media that included feasibility, changing attitudes, and improving knowledge related to sexual health behavior among youth of color. Conclusions New media is a promising and feasible platform for improving the sexual health of African American AYA. Further research is suggested to better understand the benefits of new media as a sexual health promotion tool among this specific population.
