ABURTO-ARCINIEGA, Mónica B. et al. Sexual health educational intervention in medical students. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2020, vol.156, n.2, pp.165-171. Epub 26-Mayo-2021. ISSN 2696-1288. https://doi.org/10.24875/gmm.20005587.
Introduction:
The National Autonomous University of Mexico Faculty of Medicine created the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Program, which is aimed at students.
Objective:
To determine the sexual-reproductive health profile of medical students through a diagnostic questionnaire and of those who participated in an educational intervention on sexuality (three modules).
Method:
First-year undergraduate students, schoolyear 2017-2018, participated. Students were considered to be trained when they took at least one module.
Results:
The questionnaire was answered by 1157 students, 21.9 % participated in at least one module, 43.1% had initiated sexual activity and 25 % received the educational intervention. Not having used a condom in their last intercourse was identified in 20 %, and a high prevalence of intercourse under the influence of alcohol was observed.
Conclusions:
It is important for specific sexuality competences to be promoted among those who will be doctors in the future.
