Assessing Acceptability And Perceptions Of A Novel Condom Use Intervention For Young Women

Objectives: To assess the acceptability of a novel condom use intervention for women, the Home-Based Exercises of Responsible Sex, that focuses on condom use experience, application skills, and self-efficacy. Method: Two hundred eighty women (M age 22.63, SD = 3.65) completed an online survey containing questions on condom use errors, experiences, ability, and self-efficacy, and on intervention acceptability.Results: Eighty-one percent reported that the intervention was acceptable. Significant positive predictors of acceptability were condom use ability ( = .18) and self-efficacy ( = .20). Discussion: Findings suggest that the intervention is acceptable and that different options for completing the intervention should be offered.
