Resumen:
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention program to promote sexual health of adolescents in conflict with the law. The study was carried out with 118 adolescents belonging to a diagnosis community. A quasi-experimental design was used with an intervention group and one control group,consisting of three phases: preevaluation,intervention and post-evaluation. The intervention,which consisted of five sessions of two hours each one,comprised the elements that respond to the ecological model in its three levels: micro-system (knowledge,believes,attitudes,intentions and self-efficacy to use condoms,self-esteem,communication with partner,negotiating styles,etc.); meso-system (support,supervision and communication with parent,etc.) and macro-system (gender stereotypes). An analysis of repeated measures was performed. Results showed changes between control and experimental groups,in favor of the latter in all the variables of the model,except for partner communication and self-esteem. The findings are discussed in terms of the importance of designing programs based on the ecological model aimed at people who are deprived of freedom. © 2016,Universidad Catolica de Colombia.
