The topic today is education and prevention, two words that are very important for the health professionals and the community...

I think that the prevention is very necesary because help people to avoid problems that are very common and that not should happen, for a correct prevention is necesary educate to people, family or comunnity about the methods for prevent some problems or situations, for this the prevention is united with the education and are very important, for example in my career can prevent the teen pregnancy.

For prevent the pregnant teen, the midwife can give talks in schools for explain about the responsability of a baby, also can explain contraceptives methods for prevent the teen pregnancy and the STI (sexual transmitted infections), other method is talk with mothers centers for explain the importance of communication with their sons or daughters for answers your questions, the sex clases are very important for the teenagers or to talks about the importance to have only a couple of this method are for help families, communities or individuals.

The midwives can to talks and can provide information for prevent this, because the midwives always is in contact with their mothers and can explain the care they should have with their children, also the midwive has the means to provide with contraceptive methods and explain its correct use, for prevent not only teen pregnancy, also STI or cervical cancer, that can be avoided similary.

Is very important that the education is present since childhoop, the education begins at home, and we mustn't forget that prevention is better that cure and the only way to cure is have adequate information to make the best.
