To conduct a pilot test of a brief, self-guided, home-based program designed to improve male condom use attitudes and behaviors among young women.
Women aged 18-24 years from a large Midwestern University reporting having had penile-vaginal sex with two or more partners in the past 3 months. Sixty-seven enrolled; 91.0% completed the study.
A repeated measures design was used, with assessments occurring at baseline, immediately post intervention (T2), and 30 days subsequent (T3).
Condom use errors and problems decreased, condom-related attitudes and self-efficacy improved, and experiences of condom-protected sex were rated more positively when comparing baseline with T2 and T3 scores. Further, the proportion of condom-protected episodes more than doubled between T1 and T3 for those in the lowest quartile for condom use at baseline.
This low-resource, home-based program improved condom-related attitudes and promoted the correct and consistent use of condoms.
对一个简短的、自我引导的、基于家庭的项目进行试点测试，该项目旨在改善年轻女性对男用避孕套的使用态度和行为。
来自中西部一所大型大学的18 - 24岁女性，报告在过去3个月内与两个或更多伴侣有过阴茎 - 阴道性行为。67人登记参加；91.0%完成了研究。
采用重复测量设计，在基线、干预后立即（T2）和随后30天（T3）进行评估。
与基线相比，T2和T3分数显示，避孕套使用错误和问题减少，与避孕套相关的态度和自我效能提高，对有避孕套保护的性行为的体验评价更积极。此外，对于基线时避孕套使用处于最低四分位数的人，在T1和T3之间，有避孕套保护的性行为比例增加了一倍多。
这个资源匮乏的、基于家庭的项目改善了与避孕套相关的态度，并促进了避孕套的正确和持续使用。
