This study was designed to determine whether signs would prompt bar patrons to avail themselves of free condoms. The intervention at three "gay bars" involved placing a large sign directly above a container of free condoms; the sign gave statistics for the number of people who have died from AIDS in the state and pointed out that condoms can reduce the spread of AIDS. Additional signs placed in the restrooms gave information about safe sex practices and reminded patrons that free condoms could be obtained at a given location in the bar. An ABAB design was used, with a 2-week baseline, 2-week treatment with signs present, 2-week reversal with no signs, and 2-week reinstatement of treatment with signs present. For all three bars combined, 748 condoms were taken with signs present and 510 condoms were taken with signs absent. Overall, when signs were present, the number of condoms taken increased by 47%.
本研究旨在确定张贴标识是否会促使酒吧顾客取用免费避孕套。在三家“同性恋酒吧”进行的干预措施包括在免费避孕套容器正上方放置一个大标识;该标识列出了该州死于艾滋病的人数统计数据,并指出避孕套可减少艾滋病传播。放置在洗手间的其他标识提供了安全性行为的信息,并提醒顾客可在酒吧的特定位置获取免费避孕套。采用了ABAB设计,基线期为2周,有标识的治疗期为2周,无标识的反转期为2周,有标识的治疗恢复期为两周。三家酒吧的统计数据显示,有标识时共取用了748个避孕套,无标识时取用了510个避孕套。总体而言,有标识时,避孕套的取用数量增加了47%。
