Problem: The absence of facilitating stimuli in the environment in which the adolescent coexists is usually related to a delay in his development. Objective: To analyze the association of factors related to the "Development Delay" diagnostic proposal among adolescents in the school environment.

The study was approved by the Ethics in Research Committee of the responsible institution, under opinion nº 1.662.528 and the Certificate of Presentation for Ethical Consideration nº 57945016.4.0000.5537. Outcomes: The prevalence of the diagnostic proposition for delay in development was of 18.26%. Related factors that showed significant statistical association were social marginalization, chronic pain, refusal to accept body changes taking place during puberty and psychological trauma. Discussion: One can perceive the relation between the studied variables and human development when considering the literature available. Conclusion: The knowledge of the associated factors most present in this population facilitates the understanding of the diagnostic proposal by the nurse.
