Condom use at last sex is a widely used indicator in sexual behavior research; however, there is little empirical research validating this indicator. This study examined whether a single-event recall period (the last time coitus occurred) was consistent with longer recall periods (14 days and 60 days) for a sample of African American adolescent females (N = 566). The findings from this study demonstrate that condom use at last coitus is a valid proxy for condom use behaviors spanning longer time periods.
最近一次性行为时使用避孕套是性行为研究中广泛使用的一个指标；然而，鲜有实证研究对该指标进行验证。本研究调查了对于非裔美国青少年女性样本（N = 566），单次事件回忆期（最后一次性交发生的时间）是否与更长的回忆期（14天和60天）一致。本研究的结果表明，最后一次性交时使用避孕套是更长时间段内避孕套使用行为的有效替代指标。
