Background It is important to have current and reliable estimates of the frequency and correlates of condom use among Australian adults.
A representative sample of 20094 men and women aged 16-69 years, from all states and territories, completed computer-assisted telephone interviews. The overall participation rate among eligible people was 66.2%.
Although most respondents had used a condom at some time in their lives, fewer than half of those who were sexually active in the year before being interviewed had used a condom in that year. Condom use in the last year was associated with youth, speaking a language other than English at home, bisexual identity, greater education, residence in major cities, lower income and having multiple sexual partners in the last year. One-quarter of respondents used a condom the last time they had vaginal intercourse and one-sixth of these were put on after genital contact. Condom use during most recent vaginal sex was associated with youth, lower income, having sex with a non-regular partner and not using another form of contraception. Condom use appears to have increased between 2001-02 and 2012-13.
Consistent with other research, this study showed that condom use was strongly associated with partner type and use of other contraception. There may be a need to highlight among people with multiple sexual partners the fact that non-barrier methods of contraception do not offer protection against sexually transmissible infections. The finding that many condoms were applied after genital contact suggests a need to promote both use and correct use of condoms.
背景 获得澳大利亚成年人中避孕套使用频率及相关因素的最新可靠估计很重要。
从所有州和领地抽取了20094名年龄在16 - 69岁的男女作为代表性样本，完成了计算机辅助电话访谈。符合条件者的总体参与率为66.2%。
尽管大多数受访者在其生命中的某个时候使用过避孕套，但在接受访谈前一年有性行为的人中，不到一半在该年使用过避孕套。去年使用避孕套与年轻、在家说英语以外的语言、双性恋身份、受教育程度较高、居住在大城市、收入较低以及去年有多个性伴侣有关。四分之一的受访者在最后一次阴道性交时使用了避孕套，其中六分之一是在生殖器接触后戴上的。最近一次阴道性交时使用避孕套与年轻、收入较低、与非固定伴侣发生性行为以及未使用其他避孕方式有关。2001 - 02年至2012 - 13年期间避孕套使用似乎有所增加。
与其他研究一致，本研究表明避孕套使用与性伴侣类型和其他避孕方式的使用密切相关。可能需要向有多个性伴侣的人群强调非屏障避孕方法不能预防性传播感染这一事实。许多避孕套在生殖器接触后才使用这一发现表明需要推广避孕套的使用及其正确使用方法。
