In order to analyze the influence of printed educational material on learning and promotion of sexual and reproductive health, this qualitative study was conducted in 6 public primary healthcare facilities in the city of Jequié (BA) through interviews with 6 nurses and 12 users of reproductive planning services, and a systematic observation. After triangulation, the data were analyzed using the technique of content analysis. It was evidenced that when printed educational material is associated with horizontal communication between the professionals and the users and more diverse methodologies related to the specificities of the target audience, it is possible to achieve learning and autonomy.
