El estudio se sustenta en tres miradas complementarias: la transformacion social; la historia de la educacion sexual en Mexico; y la salud sexual y reproductiva presente en los adolescentes. Se evidencia como las experiencias de los padres son el producto de su construccion sociohistorica y como sus recursos y estrategias se fundamentan bajo una concepcion tradicional de la sexualidad e indicios de modernidad. En ellos existen pocas oportunidades para la reflexion y apropiacion de valores sustantivos para la salud sexual. Se requiere de esfuerzos para; a) aumentar las opciones y ampliar el conocimiento de la informacion en la cual basen sus ideas y acciones; b) mostrar los beneficios del acompanamiento acorde al mundo actual y requerimientos de los adolescentes; y c) favorecer el desarrollo de nuevas habilidades en los padres.

Materials and methods: Based on the 2000, 2006 and 2012 National Health Surveys, information on c-section was analyzed. A multivariate logistic regression model was used in 2012. Results: A 50.3% increase in the use of c-section was observed nationally from 2000 to 2012. Women more likely to undergo a c-section include those whose delivery care takes place in the private sector (OR=2.84, 95%CI:2.15-3.74). When associating women's age and parity, the greatest risks are observed among primiparous women between 12 and 19 years of age, and those aged 35 years and more (OR=6.02, 95%CI:1.24-29.26 and OR=5.20, 95%CI:2.41-11.21, respectively). Conclusions: Some recommendations to revert the increase of this clinical practice, especially when there is no full justification for its realization, are proposed.

During June 2021, we used an integrative review to search and to analyze national and international public policy instruments along with other documents related to subsequent adolescent pregnancy. We observed, for each, the presence of statements on subsequent adolescent pregnancy. The research team was then divided into triads to discuss and to classify each reference under one of the following categories: (a) a symbolic statement, that is, an intention not implying a specific action but rather presenting a vision for the future; (b) a substantive-material statement concerning an action intended to solve a problem; and (c) a procedural-material statement indicating specific acti...

Design: Mixed methods study. Setting: Three hospital catchment areas in Hidalgo, Mexico. Participants: Four hundred and fifty-five women aged 40-69 years. Intervention: Three hundred and eighty women completed a survey about knowledge, beliefs and perceptions about breast cancer screening, and 75 women participated in semi-structured, inperson interviews. Survey data were analyzed using logistic regression; semi-structured interviews were transcribed and analyzed using elements of the grounded theory method. Main Outcome Measure: Women were categorized as never having had mammography or having had at least one mammogram in the past. Results: From survey data, having had a Pap in the past year was associated with ever having had breast screening (odds ratio = 2.15; 95% confidence interval 1.30-3.54). Compared with neverscreened women, ever-screened women had better knowledge of Mexican recommendations for the frequency of mammography screening (49.5% vs 31.7% P < 0.001). A higher percentage of neverscreened women perceived that a mammography was a painful procedure (44.5% vs 33.8%; P < 0.001) and feared receiving bad news (38.4% vs 22.2%; P < 0.001) compared with ever-screened women. Women who participated in semi-structured, in-person interviews expressed a lack of knowledge about Mexican standard mammographic screening recommendations for age for starting mammography and its recommended frequency. Women insured under the 'Opportunities' health insurance program said that they are referred to receive Pap tests and mammography. Conclusions: Local strategies to reduce mammogram-related pain and fear of bad news should work in tandem with national programs to increase access to screening.

METHODS We carried out a rapid review of the literature (2005-2019). Studies were included if: evaluated interventions targeting adolescents and prevention of pregnancy; used a randomized controlled design; pregnancy was measured as an outcome. Applicability of the interventions to Latin America was assessed using the following information: target population; intervention design and resources; type, skills, and training of providers; system arrangements; and acceptability and social context. RESULTS Nine studies were included, five describing interventions in African countries, two in the United Kingdom, and two in the United States. Interventions were rated as highly applicable to Latin America when considering target population, profile of the providers and design; however, variations arose when assessing system arrangements and social context. Incentive-based interventions showed significant impacts in the prevention of adolescent pregnancy and were rated as highly applicable. CONCLUSIONS This review provides professionals, policymakers, researchers, and educators potential criteria to consider when adapting successful evidence-based interventions to prevent adolescent pregnancy in LA.

Yet, few evidence-based attempts to build more equitable, accessible, and available reproductive health services for disadvantaged adolescents than their counterparts have been made. The objective is to describe the design and development process of new content that has been integrated to work in synergy with an existing website to promote sexual and reproductive health among Mexican adolescents. We adopted a user-centered participatory action research approach. We developed a set of nine interactive activities that promote knowledge and skills on self-esteem, gender equity, self-efficacy, and decision-making; a chat with live counseling for healthy sexual and reproductive behavior; and a video with a message that highlights the importance of delaying motherhood. By incorporating this type of constructivist strategy, we seek to meet adolescents' needs more easily and improve the acceptability of interventions.

The evaluation utilized pre-and post-tests to measure the effectiveness of the intervention whose objectives were to modify hospital procedures to reduce waiting time improve pain management and assure patient privacy; train all medical personnel in correct use of vacuum aspiration as a substitute for instrumental curettage; train personnel in the importance of respectful and humane treatment of patients in the areas of providing information psychological support and counseling with emphasis on postabortal contraception; and design print materials to reinforce the messages. Largely as a result of adoption of manual endouterine aspiration under local anesthesia instead of instrumental curettage under general anesthesia post procedure hospital stays declined by 7 ho...

The objective of our analysis was to evaluate the quality of CM counseling in health institutions of the public sector using the Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) technique. We specifically analyzed whether health-service providers informed CM users of all the side effects they might experience, as specified under the Mexican health-care regulations. Our results demonstrated that, among the four CM analyzed-the intrauterine device, hormonal injection, condom and subdermal implant-only the users of the subdermal implant received complete information on side effects. Our findings thus indicate that the quality of family planning services in the institutions analyzed is deficient. We recommend that service providers be regularly trained in order to improve their performance and that LQAS methodology be adopted as an effective means of regularly monitoring the quality of health services in Mexico.

This article describes the family, reproductive, and educational aspirations and expectations of this sample of students from disadvantaged areas, and explores mechanisms contributing to forming future plans. Two main plans are outlined in this sample: one oriented towards prioritizing family formation and an elevated risk of dropping out of school, and another oriented towards postponing unions and child-raising to look for educational/career development. Several factors appear to influence the development of educational/career ideals among men, however, the mechanisms driving the formation of future plans in women are less clear. The findings add to a limited body of knowledge measuring both educational and reproductive aspirations of students in low-resource settings in Latin America.

Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the proportion of adolescents connected ubiquitously; and to identify its associated factors for the further development of mobile health interventions. Methods An online survey of adolescents from state of Morelos, Mexico, was conducted in 2016. Explored individual socio-educational and school technological infrastructure characteristics and habits of use of mobile technologies. A logistic regression model was fitted to identify variables associated with ubiquitous connectivity. Results One thousand three hundred thirty-six students were included and six questionnaires (0.45%) were eliminated due to duplication of information. Fifty-four percent of participants were female, and the mean ...

It aims to analyze some assumptions related to women’s health on which different works and practices are based and reproduced in society. Several examples are given which, by illustrating women’s living conditions and their experiences, make it possible to visualize some links between women’s oppressed conditions of living and their health conditions. This paper concludes by emphasizing the need to constantly analyze social reality from a critical viewpoint; this would enable us to question and reformulate the logic underlying social organizations and health care, which emphasizes the women’s maternal role and overlooks their health and well-being as a whole.

Often these TMs provide the only culturally, economically and/or geographically accessible pregnancy care available in their communities. TMs working in urban locations and those with higher levels of education have often sought additional training with physicians. These TMs combine traditional care with medicalized practices including blood pressure checks, episiotomies and family planning. They preferentially refer to private physicians and often receive a courtesy fee. ...
