For decades,teenage pregnancy has been considered a serious universal problem which has mobilized various levels, such as health, education and social development, involving these young people. A major challenge has been to create conditions for the prevention of this condition. It is noted that despite the efforts, the number of early pregnancies has remained high. In this work, the overall goal was to propose intervention plan thatreduce the rate of teenage pregnancy in the Palestinian Family Health Program in the city of Perdões, in Minas Gerais. Therefore, considering the priority problem to be addressed, " the lack of guidance on teenage pregnancy", we addressed four critical: (1) the low level of education about sexuality and pregnancy, (2) the linkage little teens with the Program Family and health Family health program with the school, (3) thefrequent exchange of affective and sexual partners among adolescents, and (4) early initiation of sexual activity and the mean number of unwanted pregnancies. Intermediate nodes as critical problems that are defined, resolved, facilitate full or partial solution of the priority problem. For each node a project, defining products and results, resources,critical resources, strategic actions, responsible, deadlines, monitoring and evaluation and feasibility is presented. This work emphasizes that actions must always accommodate adolescents as primary users of the health system, seeking to serve them in their needs and build processes with them for better quality of life for all.
