Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Inconsistent condom use remains a significant problem in the college student population. Although a number of factors have been cited regarding potential explanations for this continuing problem, the relationship with meaning in life has yet to be explored. Meaning in life refers to the theory that humans are driven by a will to find purpose in their lives; those who fail to derive meaning have been cited to engage in a variety of high risk behaviors. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the relationship between condom use and meaning in life. A sample of undergraduate students was administered measures of meaning in life, alcohol consumption, condom use, and current and past sexual behaviors. Correlations suggested that greater alcohol use was related to engaging in sexual activity with more partners, and the individuals reporting sexual activity with a greater number of partners used condoms inconsistently. It was also found that relationship status as monogamous as well as longer relationship duration was associated with less consistent condom use. Correlations additionally suggested that greater reported meaning of life was related to being in a monogamous relationship, relationships of longer duration, and less daily alcohol use. Regression analyses revealed that meaning in life was significant predictor of condom use over the past 60 days above and beyond alcohol use and sexual history. These finding indicate that meaning in life may play a role in the utilization of sexual protection behaviors.

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College students are at high risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV⁄AIDS due to the high frequency of unprotected sexual activity (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2003). Condom use research among college aged youth has primarily concentrated on individual decision making processes with some recent focus on the impact of peer norms. To further understand college students' choices regarding sexual risk behavior, the current research examines the influence of the parent-college student relationship on college students' decisions about condom use. Building on previous research in sexual risk and alcohol use literature, the current study examines the role of parent-young adult relationship variables (i.e. facilitation of independence, and affective quality) on condom use. Parental influence has been an important predictor in other areas of college student life but has not been examined in the college student sexual risk literature. Results and implications for future studies are discussed.

Book excerpt: The current study sought to examine the association between indicators of relationship quality, relational factors, demographic factors, and condom use at last penile-vaginal intercourse among heterosexual female college students (ages 18-22) using logistic regression analyses. Psychometric properties of the following scales were examined using exploratory factor analysis, correlation analyses, and Cronbach's alpha: the modified Perceived Relationship Quality Components Inventory (PRQC) (Fletcher, Simpson, & Thomas, 2000), the revised Sexual Decision-Making Dominance Subscale (Harvey, Bird, Galavotti, Duncan, & Greenberg, 2002), and the Global Measure of Sexual Satisfaction (Lawrance, Byers, & Cohen, 1998). The study utilized a cross-sectional design to administer an anonymous online survey (via Qualtrics) of 799 heterosexual female college students with an average age of 19.87 who were majority Caucasian/White (78.1%). About half of the study participants (N=404) reported not using a male latex condom at last penile-vaginal intercourse. Study findings revealed that as global perceived relationship quality increased, the odds of using condoms at last penile-vaginal intercourse decreased. Additionally, young women who independently (or with their sexual partners) decided when to engage in sexual intercourse were less likely to use a male latex condom at last penile-vaginal intercourse (compared to young women whose partner solely made the decision). Such findings highlight the importance of considering the relational context in which risky sexual behavior (i.e., unprotected sex) occurs.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College students frequently report not using condoms, placing them at risk for unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. This study aimed to investigate the preliminary efficacy, acceptability, and feasibility of The Condom Carnival, a novel, brief, interactive, culturally-tailored, and peer-led sexual risk reduction group intervention for college students. A longitudinal, randomized controlled trial was utilized to compare the efficacy of the Condom Carnival to an education-only control condition (HIV/STI 101) and a treatment control condition (VOICES/VOCES, a CDC effective behavioral intervention). To encourage college students to increase their condom use and lower their sexual risk, the Condom Carnival has three specific aims: 1) address knowledge deficits in sexual health information, 2) improve condom-related self-efficacy, and 3) increase awareness of risky sexual behaviors. Due to the interactive, skills-based, and peer-led nature of the Condom Carnival, we hypothesized that participants would report greater efficacy and acceptability of the Condom Carnival compared to the other interventions. Undergraduate and graduate students were trained as Condom Carnival peer-facilitators. 119 undergraduates, aged 18-57 year (M = 21.8), were recruited for this study. Student were 77% Female, 52% Black, 42% White, 6% Latino, and 1% Asian. All questionnaires (pre-, post-, and follow-up) were administered online. Two-way Mixed ANOVAs, McNemar's tests, and a One-way ANOVA were used to examine the interventions' comparative efficacy and acceptability; frequencies were examined to determine the feasibility of Condom Carnival activities. The Condom Carnival had higher acceptability ratings and performed better than the education-only condition in teaching participants about lubricant safety and correct condom use skills. The Condom Carnival had equivalent acceptability and efficacy as VOICES/VOCES in teaching sexual health information (HIV and lubricant safety knowledge), improving facets of condom-related self-efficacy (condom negotiation strategies and correct condom use skills), and increasing awareness of risky sexual behaviors (lowering number of sexual partners, decreasing general sexual risk, and increasing safe sex behaviors). All Condom Carnival participants engaged in every activity, thus displaying excellent feasibility. The Condom Carnival, with its scalability, has utility for teaching college students sexual risk reduction and condom use promotion. This study is promising for intervention researchers, community preventionists, and campus service providers.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of two studies. Study one examined relationship factors' impact on condom use among college students. Study two examined perceived barriers and benefits of condom use among college students. Study One AbstractResearch indicates that a number of college students are at risk for HIV, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and unplanned pregnancy as a result of their sexual behaviors. Specific behaviors placing college students at risk include having sex with multiple partners, poor communication about safer sex practices with their sexual partners and not using condoms consistently and correctly when engaging in sexual activity. The purpose of this paper is to identify potential differences in safer sex practices and factors that influence condom use among college students. A four-page, 18-item survey was developed to determine participants' condom use and the impact of relationship status and other demographic factors on condom use. Analyses revealed that the number of lifetime vaginal sexual partners and participants' sex influenced condom use. There were no significant differences in relationship status, duration, trust, honesty and condom use. These findings should be considered with designing interventions to increase condom use among college students. Study Two AbstractDespite the efforts of health professionals, research indicates that a number of college students engage in high risk sexual behaviors including having sex with multiple partners, not discussing safer sex practices with their partners and not regularly using condoms when engaging in sexual activity. These behaviors increase the likelihood that individuals will contract a sexually transmitted disease (STD), HIV or have an unplanned pregnancy. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify perceived barriers and perceived benefits to condom use among this population. A four-page, 18-item survey was developed to determine participants' condom use, barriers to condom use, benefits of condom use, and participants' basic knowledge of STDs and safer sex practices. Results indicated the leading barriers to condom use were using condoms reduce pleasure, knowing a partner's sexual history, and condoms limit intimacy. The leading benefits of condom use were condoms prevent pregnancy and STDs, and condoms give the user a feeling of safety. Analyses also determined that the number of vaginal, anal, and oral sexual partners significantly influenced the number of perceived barriers and participants' sex and number of vaginal, anal, and oral sexual partners influenced the number of perceived benefits to condom use. These findings may beneficial to those creating safer sex educational programs aimed at increasing rates of condom use among college students.

Book excerpt: The theory of planned behavior was used in this study to determine the intentions of undergraduates to use condoms during sexual activity. This theory states that behavior is a result of intention and intention is influenced by attitude toward the behavior, subjective norm, and perceived control of the behavior. Three hypotheses related to the theory were tested. The first hypothesis states that the theory of planned behavior can be used to predict intentions to use comdoms. Results provided partial support for this hypothesis: Perceived control was not significantly related to behavioral intentions. A second hypothesis was that the theory of planned behavior is a better predictor than an earlier version of the theory, the theory of reasoned action. Results showed that both theories could equally predict condom usage among undergraduates. A third hypothesis was that the underlying beliefs of males and females, as well as those who intend to use condoms and those don't intend to use condoms, would differ. Multivariate analyses showed that these differences were most significant regarding the outcome beliefs of the subjects. Two other hypotheses of interest are whether single undergraduates with more than one partner are more likely to use condoms than those with only one partner, and whether those who rate their chances of getting AIDS as high are more likely to use condoms than those who rate their chances as low. Results indicate no support for the above hypotheses.
