Generation of applied scientific research to develop behavioral technology for the prevention of sexual health problems in different vulnerable populations. This research group is recognized for creating intervention programs based on diagnostic studies, employing valid and reliable psychological assessment tools to identify risk factors for the sexual health of adolescents and university students from a behavioral psychological perspective. The group promotes the training of high-level researchers by involving undergraduate students as collaborators in the studies we conduct, encouraging their enrollment in postgraduate programs.

Its mission is to contribute to the improvement of sexual health among Mexican adolescents, youth, and vulnerable populations by identifying risk factors for health and developing evidence-based interventions.
