Abstract

SUMMARY: Introduction: The problem of teenage pregnancy has consequences for young people and society, such as health problems, school dropout and social exclusion. In the municipality of Acrelândia-AC, a high rate of early pregnancy, especially in the Nossa Senhora Rainha da Paz community, is aggravated by the lack of sexual education and unfavorable socioeconomic conditions. The project aims to promote sexual and reproductive health education to reduce the incidence of teenage pregnancy. Methodology: review of academic articles that deal with preventive interventions to prevent teenage pregnancy. The intervention consisted of meetings with adolescents to discuss contraceptive methods. Results found: the majority had doubts about the use of the methods presented. Expected results: It is hoped to raise awareness among young people and reduce the rate of teenage pregnancy in Acrelândia, with support from health bodies and society. Final considerations: The project aims to create a supportive environment for adolescents, promoting information for decision-making about sexual and reproductive health. Success depends on the active participation of the entire relevant care network and the community, including families and educators.
