Health care on the radio: debate about sexuality and gender relations with school students / Cuidados de saúde na rádio: debate sobre sexualidade e relações de gênero com alunos escolares

This study aims at analyzing the speeches of young people about sexualities and gender relations while they participated in a radio program. It is a descriptive and exploratory study, with a qualitative approach. The participants were 49 young students from public schools, in the State of Ceará, in Brazil, who participated in the “Program in Tuning with Health through Web Radio AJIR”. Data analysis was carried out from this material and from the analysis of the speeches referenced by Michel Foucault. The study is in accordance with research ethics standards. The prior knowledge that the young students have about the topics discussed was formed within the society in which they live, in their families, in religious meetings, or in the school. Young people see Web Radio as a way to clarify doubts that often go unnoticed in their daily lives and in their family life. It is possible to reflect upon the importance of the methodology used by Web Radio to address issues such as Gender Relations and Sexualities. These results are expected to contribute to the promotion of young people's health through communication closer to the needs and reality of students.
