“…Our results suggest that this may be particularly the case for men; thus, it may be especially important that STI risk reduction interventions targeted at young men go beyond the provision of relevant factual information to include motivational and behavioural skill building opportunities, as recommended by the Canadian Guidelines for Sexual Health Education (Public Health Agency of Canada, 2008). One such behavioural intervention designed to promote the acceptance and consistent and correct use of condoms is The Kinsey Institute Homework Intervention Strategy which has been successfully pilot-tested on samples of heterosexual men (Milhausen et al, 2011).…”

Young adult Canadians of university age are highly sexually active compared to other age groups and are at relatively high risk for sexually transmitted infections (STI). It is therefore important to comprehensively assess condom use in this age group. In this study, the prevalence and individual predictors of condom use at last penile vaginal intercourse (PVI) were assessed in a national sample of 653 Canadian university students (252 male, 401 female). Overall, less than half of students (47.2%) reported condom use at last PVI. Condom use was higher among men (55.4%) than women (42.3%). For both men and women, the most frequently cited main reason for having used a condom was birth control. In multivariate analyses, the strongest predictor of condom use at last PVI was a preference for condoms as a contraceptive method; specifically, men and women who stated condoms were their preferred method were 9 and 23 times, respectively, more likely to use condoms at last PVI than those who selected another method. Female students who reported that their most recent sexual encounter occurred with a more committed partner (e.g., committed dating versus a hook-up) had slightly lower odds of reporting condom use at last PVI. The results indicated that rates of condom use are low among Canadian university students and that many students are likely at high risk for STI. Interventions to raise awareness of STIs are needed on Canadian university campuses and educational programs should emphasize improving attitudes towards condoms in addition to developing sexual health knowledge and condom use skills.

“…It is encouraging to compare this study with that by Milhausen et al,2011 (28) in which stressed the positive effect of educational intervention on decreasing perceived barriers in his study of self guided, home-based intervention to promote condom use among young men.…”

“…The current findings are consistent with the results of an earlier pilot study that tested this intervention with men who have sex with women. 6 This novel intervention promoted condom use using a theory-based approach to behavior change. Furthermore, this study included a program evaluation component that suggests very good acceptability of the program.…”

“…The Kinsey Institute Homework Intervention Strategy (KIHIS) features condom use "homework assignments" while promoting consistent and correct condom use among young men by focusing on condom-use skill, enjoyment, and self-efficacy. 6 The KIHIS places the impetus for change on the client, focusing on solitary behavioral practice of condom-use skills without the pressure and experiences that are often inherent in partnered sexual interactions. In contrast to practicing condom application on a penile model, this intervention more closely parallels the real-life situation in which condoms are applied during a sexual interaction.…”

“…A recent pilot study of KIHIS reported significant positive effects on condom use experiences, confidence in the ability to use condoms, self-efficacy for condom use, and condom comfort as well as reduction in breakage and erection problems among young heterosexual men despite a small sample of only 30 men. 6 The aim of the current study was to evaluate the efficacy and acceptability of the KIHIS intervention among YMSM. The hypothesis was that an increase in condom use and more positive attitudes toward condoms would be found post intervention compared with baseline.…”
