This study examined the reasons that adolescent girls used a product over time. Adolescent girls (n = 208; 14-21 years) participated in a six-month study in which they completed three face-to-face interviews and 24-weekly phone call interviews. Participants were given microbicide-like products (vaginal lubricants) and encouraged to use them with condoms when they had intercourse. Most of the reasons for use were endorsed by most of the adolescent girls, at some time during the study. Over time, the adolescents were significantly more likely to report the following reasons for use: did not think the product would leak out (z = 2.49; P < 0.01), the product felt comfortable (z = 2.41; P < 0.02) and the product was not messy to use (z = 3.11; P < 0.01). Although it appears that adolescents are interested in microbicides, they may worry about certain characteristics of the product. It will be important to develop anticipatory guidance that focuses on the experience of using the product, making sure adolescent girls continue to use over time.
本研究调查了随着时间推移青春期女孩使用某产品的原因。青春期女孩（n = 208；14 - 21岁）参与了一项为期六个月的研究，期间她们完成了三次面对面访谈和24次每周一次的电话访谈。研究给参与者提供了类似杀菌剂的产品（阴道润滑剂），并鼓励她们在性交时与避孕套一起使用。在研究的某个时间段，大多数青春期女孩认可了大多数使用原因。随着时间的推移，青少年更有可能报告以下使用原因：认为产品不会渗漏（z = 2.49；P < 0.01）、产品使用起来感觉舒适（z = 2.41；P < 0.02）以及产品使用时不会弄得一团糟（z = 3.11；P < 0.01）。尽管青少年似乎对杀菌剂感兴趣，但她们可能会担心产品的某些特性。制定侧重于产品使用体验的预期指导很重要，以确保青春期女孩能持续使用该产品。
