Abstract:
SUMMARY Throughout my professional experience as a nurse, including community work, as well as a ten-year tenure as a nurse on the Health and School (“Salut i Escola”) Programme, I have encountered situations in which teenagers find themselves in vulnerable and unprotected situtaions, lacking information and knowledge on what resources are available to them in case of need. While Internet usage by teenagers can offer an opportunity for personal and social development, it is also a potential source of risks and problems. Social and cultural aspects of sex can both predetermine internet usage patterns, and the consequences of internet usage.

This tool is designed to promote awareness and help prevent select health issues in teenagers, improve knowledge and attitudes to sexually transmitted diseases and encourage sexual rights.
