“…Consistent with international literature from the United States (Aral et al, 2005), Brazil (Calzanas et al, 2005), and Europe (Castilla et al, 1999;Gredig et al, 2006), participants reporting on a casual sexual event in this study were significantly more likely to report using a condom than those reporting on a steady event (72% vs. 56%). Similarly, as hypothesized, alcohol consumption before sex did not have a main effect on condom use.…”

“…A positive significant relationship existed between attitudes toward condom use and intentions to use condoms (Boer & Mashamba, 2007;Gredig, Nideroest, & Parpan-Blaser, 2006;Heeren, Jemmott, Mandeya, & Tyler, 2007;Molla, Astrom, & Brehane, 2007;Ozakinci & Weinman, 2005), subjective norms about condom use and intention to use condoms (Boer & Mashamba, 2007;Heeren et al 2007;Molla et al 2007), PBC of condom use and intention to use a condom (Gredig et al 2006;Heeren et al 2007;Molla et al 2007;Ozakinci & Weinman, 2005), and between intention to use condom and condom use (Boer & Mashamba, 2007;Gredig et al 2006;Heeren et al 2007;Molla et al 2007;Ozakinci & Weinman, 2005). No relationship existed between PBC of condom use and condom use (Molla et al 2007;Ozakinci & Weinman, 2005).…”

Consistent condom use among Thai heterosexual adult males in Bangkok, Thailand

Thai heterosexual males between 20 and 39 years old are at increased risk for HIV infection. Consistent condom use is effective against HIV transmission, but little is known about determinants of consistent condom use for these males. The purpose of this study is to explore determinants of consistent condom use for this population. The determinants of interest are age, educational level, marital status, income, and concepts from the theory of planned behavior: attitude toward condom use, subjective norm about consistent condom use, perceived behavioral control (PBC) of consistent condom use, and intention to use condoms consistently. We used a cross-sectional descriptive research design with a convenience sample of 400 heterosexual Thai males between 20 and 39 years. Our sample had a mean age of 28.71 years (SD = 6.33). During the last three months, 39.5% reported using condoms consistently, 23% reported using condoms inconsistently, and 37.5% reported never using condoms. The results from the regression analyses revealed that marital status, income, subjective norm about consistent condom use, PBC of consistent condom use, and intention to use condoms consistently were determinants of consistent condom use. Also the effect of subjective norm about consistent condom use and PBC of consistent condom use on consistent condom use was mediated by intention to use condoms consistently. These results suggest that interventions to increase consistent condom use should focus on enhancing intention to use condoms consistently by promoting subjective norm about consistent condom use and PBC of consistent condom use.

“…Studies, however, also found that the PBC construct accounted for significant amounts of variance in intentions between 5% to 12% and significantly predicted condom use over subjective norms and attitude (Cha, Kim, & Patrick, 2008;Fazekas, Senn, & Ledgerwood, 2001;Gredig, Nideroest, & Parpan-Blaser, 2007;Heeren, Jemmott, Mandeya, & Tyler, 2007;Jemmott et al, 2007;Kraft, Rise, Sutton, & Roysamb, 2005;Sánchez-García, & Batista-Foguet, 2008;Schaalma et al 2009;Smith & Stasson, 2000;Villarruel, Jemmott, Jemmott, & Ronis, 2007).…”

“…Overall, the TPB predictors accounted for 36% of the variance in condom-use intentions. Gredig et al (2007) found that PBC was a significant predictor of intention to use condoms among a sample of heterosexual German men ages 22-65 years. Consistent with past research, PBC was found to be the best predictor and explained 16% of the variance in intention.…”

“…However, the literature has provided substantial support for applying the TPB to sexual risk behavior among males in other countries (Beadnell et al, 2008;Boileau et al, 2008;Cha et al, 2008;Godin et al, 2008;Gredig et al, 2007;Mashegoane, Moalusi, Peltzer, & Ngoepe, 2002;Muñoz-Silva et al, 2007) and may also be suitable to be adapted and applied to understand and predict safer sex behaviors in Bahamian men.…”
