“…First, this study confirms the important role of intention to predict condom use at last sexual intercourse. As such, the findings of the present study are well aligned on a quantitative summary of a number of meta-analyses showing that, on average, 28% of the variance in behavior is accounted for by intention (Sheeran 2002). Based on the Cohen criteria (1992), this was interpreted as equating to a large effect size.…”

The aim of this study was to identify correlates associated with condom use at last intercourse between sex workers (SW) and their boyfriends (BF). The sample was derived as a convenience sample recruited through existing HIV prevention organizations in Benin, Guinea and Senegal. The Theory of Planned Behavior served as the conceptual framework. A total of 406 individuals (220 SW and 186 BF) participated in the study. Socio-demographic, behavioral and psychological variables were collected through a face-to-face administered questionnaire. Condom use at last intercourse was significantly associated with intention and perceived control among SW as well as their BF. With respect to intention, perceived control, attitude and moral norm explained 82 and 74% of intention of SW and BF, respectively. These results suggest that promoting condom use among SW and BF should be based primarily on the development of personal ability to overcome obstacles to condom use.

“…This study was prior to vaccine licensure and, for this reason, measured intention and not actual vaccine uptake. Intentions, however, are reliable and strong predictors of many subsequent health behaviors [14]. After this study was conducted, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved the HPV vaccine, a milestone that received substantial media coverage.…”

“…Thus, interventions that help patients establish a routine of medication taking may be effective. Interventions that establish environmental contingencies for the behaviour, rather than relying purely on patient memory and motivation, have been effective in other domains and could prove equally effective here [20]. These interventions (sometimes termed implementation intention or action plan interventions) typically require the patient to think about and specify "when", "where", and "how" they will perform the desired behaviour.…”

Both clinical factors and patients' illness perceptions were associated with self-reported cholesterol-lowering medication adherence. The association with illness perceptions was small and many of these associations may be a consequence, rather than a cause, of greater adherence. Given this, intervention strategies aimed at helping patients' to establish routines for medication taking may be more effective in increasing adherence than interventions designed to alter perceptions related to taking statins.
