This study examined condom acquisition by persons in a hospital setting when single versus assorted brand name condoms were provided.
Condom receptacles were placed in exam rooms of two clinics. During Phase 1, a single brand name was provided; for Phase 2, assorted brand names were added. Number of condoms taken was recorded for each phase.
For one clinic there was nearly a two-fold increase in number of condoms taken (Phase 1 to Phase 2); for the second clinic there was negligible difference in number of condoms taken.
The provision of assorted brand name condoms, over a single brand name, can serve to increase condom acquisition. Locations of condoms and target population characteristics are related factors.
本研究调查了在医院环境中,当提供单一品牌避孕套与多种品牌避孕套时,人们获取避孕套的情况。
在两家诊所的检查室放置避孕套容器。在第一阶段,提供单一品牌;在第二阶段,增加多种品牌。记录每个阶段取用的避孕套数量。
对于一家诊所,取用的避孕套数量(从第一阶段到第二阶段)几乎增加了两倍;对于第二家诊所,取用的避孕套数量差异可忽略不计。
与提供单一品牌避孕套相比,提供多种品牌避孕套有助于增加避孕套的获取量。避孕套的放置地点和目标人群特征是相关因素。
