The study was descriptive and traversal to determine to demographic characteristic. A structured survey was applied to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, practices, and cultural patterns of family parents on the prevention of sexually transmitted infection, teen pregnancy prevention and sexual abuse reinvention. A participatory approach was used through focus groups respecting their worldview and ancestral culture together with the western multiculturalism. Likewise, workshops were developed to analyze the information with community leaders from communities involved in the diagnostic.
