LOPEZ RUIZ, Mauricio. Representation on Adolescence in Golfito: Sexuality and Reproduction According to Costa Rica’s Public Healthcare System. Rev. Rup. [online]. 2021, vol.11, n.2, pp.23-41. ISSN 2215-2989. http://dx.doi.org/10.22458/rr.v11i2.3641.
This article analyses how sexual and reproductive health has been constructed as a policy problem in Costa Rica´s Public Healthcare System, in the context of implementation of the Mesoamerica Initiative in Golfito region. It will be argued that adolescents are seen from the pathology and anormality -focusing on personal fails (their affectivity and identity) as well as socialization fails (relative to family and peer groups). As a result, their rights recognition is based on a negative stand. The study is qualitative -document analysis, as well as interviews and focus groups conducted to public healthcare officials.
