Abstract: The objective of this article is centered on the elaboration of a school science assessment instrument, inspired by socio-scientific issues (SSI), to identify levels of vulnerability to STI/AIDS among the adolescent public. Through a qualitative and exploratory approach, the evaluation instrument developed in this study was submitted to a content validation process, using the Delphi methodology and had the collaboration of a panel of experts composed of researchers, teachers and professionals in the field of education and of health, as well as the participation of students enrolled in the 3rd year of high school, for the stages of semantic validation and pilot application of the questionnaire. The developed and validated instrument corresponds to an important and innovative strategy for science teaching. Keywords: Health education. Sex education. STSE Education. Content validation.
