“…[15][16][17][18][19][20][21] More specifically, we drew from two conceptual models of HIV risk reduction: 1) Fishbein's Integrated Behavior Change Model; 22 and 2) the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) Model of HIV/AIDS Risk Reduction. 23 The IMB model posits that information, motivation and behavioral skills are the three fundamental determinants of HIV/AIDS risk reduction behavior change.…”

Correlates of Condom Use Intentions and Behaviors Among a Community-Based Sample of Latino Men in Los Angeles

HIV/AIDS has disproportionately affected Latino communities. The majority of research addressing HIV risk behaviors within this population has focused on women. However, men who have sex with women (MSW) are a population increasingly becoming infected with HIV and heterosexual contact is the primary source of HIV transmission among Latinos diagnosed with AIDS. It has been assumed that because men are likely to control condom use, relationship factors are less likely to influence safer sex behavior among men. However, because condom use is an interdependent behavior, understanding factors that predict safer sex behavior among MSW is critical. This study examined the influence of multiple factors on condom use behavior in a community-based sample of young Latino men. Data from 191 Latino men who completed baseline interviews for an intervention were analyzed to examine the association of background, intrapersonal and relationship factors with intentions to use condoms and condom use in the past three months. Findings from multivariate analyses indicated that more positive attitudes toward condoms, stronger partner condom norms and greater participation in decision-making about condom use were significantly associated with both condom use and condom use intentions. Additionally, men reporting lower expectations of negative partner reactions to condom requests were more likely to use condoms, and condom use intentions were higher among men reporting more health protective communication in the relationship. Findings suggest that interventions to prevent HIV need to include men as well as women and address the role of relationship factors and dynamics in safer sex practices.

“…The constructs in the questionnaire were based on a combination of the Theory of Planned Behavior and Social Cognitive Theory (Ajzen & Madden, 1986;Bandura, 1986), and include attitudes, intention to change, perceived social in¯uence, self-ef®cacy, and social norms. Speci®c information on the development of this questionnaire has been reported elsewhere (Van Assema et al, 1993;DeVries et al, 1992), and an English translation of the item wording appears in Appendix A.…”

“…These factors were based on several theoretical frameworks that were foundations for the intervention, including Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1986); diffusion of innovations (Rogers, 1983), community organization (Minkler, 1990), Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen & Madden, 1986), and the stages of change model (Prochaska et al, 1992). The procedures used for developing these measures and establishing their criterion validity are described in detail elsewhere (Glanz et al, 1993;Glanz et al, 1994).…”

“…Most studies investigated these determinants based on generic theories or models such as Social Cognitive Theory and social-psychological theories such as the Theory of Planned Behaviour 5,6 . Results of these studies showed that physical activity in adolescence was best predicted by self-efficacy, attitudes or beliefs, family or friend support, and perceived benefits and barriers [7][8][9] .…”

Objective: The aim of the present study was to examine the mediation effects of changes in psychosocial determinants of physical activity (attitude, social support, self-efficacy, perceived benefits and barriers) on changes in physical activity. Design: One-year intervention study with baseline and 1-year post measures of physical activity habits and psychosocial correlates. Setting: Fifteen middle schools. Subjects: Boys and girls (n 5 2840) aged 11-15 years completed the validated questionnaires during class hours. Results: The product-of-coefficients test was used to asses the mediating effects. Self-efficacy for physical activity at school was found to be the only significant mediator of physical activity change. Specifically, self-efficacy for physical activity at school partly mediated the effect of the intervention on total and school-related physical activity change in the intervention group with parental support (P , 0.05). None of the other potential mediators, attitudes, social support, perceived benefits and perceived barriers, seemed to have had a positive effect. Even a suppressor effect was found for attitudes. Given that the effects of self-efficacy and attitudes were of opposite direction, the total mediated/suppressed effects of the intervention were not statistically significant. Conclusions: Positive changes in total and school-related physical activity in adolescents could be partly explained by increases in self-efficacy for physical activity at school through a physical activity intervention in middle schools with parental support. However, the suppressor effect of attitudes decreased this effect. As this is one of the first true mediation analyses in this age group, further research is needed to replicate the importance of these mediators.
