Thematic Area: Sexual Health and Youth
An article in the new Thematic Area at CSP proposes a transition from “combined prevention” to “comprehensive prevention” in the care of sexual and reproductive health for adolescents and young people in peripheral areas of São Paulo.
Based on research-intervention experiences, the concept of comprehensive prevention has demonstrated potential to anticipate and mitigate vulnerabilities in the face of COVID-19, STIs, violence, unwanted pregnancy, and psychosocial suffering.
The authors point out that valuing everyday scenarios and the active participation of youth has proven essential to building creative, human rights-based responses to contexts of inequality and misinformation.
