Abstract:

Health Promotion (HP) presents a recent strengthening within public policies and when it comes to childhood and adolescence in Latin America (LA), there is still strong consonance with international determinations. Considering the increasing prevalence of psychological distress in this age group and the historical political construction of Latin American countries, debate HP becomes more urgent. The aim of this research was to identify and analyze, through an integrative review of the literature, academic productions that deal with strategies for mental HP of adolescents in LA and, in this way, to visualize the actions and arouse reflections dialoguing with the Southern critics, represented by the Bogotá declaration. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 6 studies were ed. As a result, it was identified that the main space actions are developed is the school. In addition, as potential measures were identified the training of professionals, group action and strengthening of primary and territorial care. It’s discussed that the historically structured socioeconomic reality of LA reflects an organization of the actions in HP. Besides that, the visualization of strategies that enhance at low cost an improvement in the mental health of adolescents can contribute to the current reflection.
