“…It is also a belief that one can overcome difficulties and perform a certain behavior [26,27]. A positive association between condom use self-efficacy and intended or selfreported condom use has been reported in the literature [60][61][62] and are in agreement with our findings. Condom use selfefficacy is amenable through intervention [63].…”

The study examined correlates of consistent condom use in steady heterosexual relationships among Somali and Ethiopian immigrants in Minnesota. Study participants (n = 205) responded to questions on attitudes, social norms, perceived behavioral control, self-efficacy, behavioral intention, and self-reported male condom use. Participants were neither for, nor against using condoms, and the same was true for social influence and self-efficacy; however, reported moderately favorable attitude toward condom use and little difficulties in using condoms. Self-efficacy emerged as the factor with the strongest direct influence on behavioral intention to use condoms. In turn, behavioral intention was a significant predictor of self-reported condom use. Increasing male condom use self-efficacy among Somali and Ethiopian immigrants is suggested as a main component of public health intervention seeking to curb the spread of HIV and other STIs in Minnesota.

“…The literature suggests that behavioral intention on condom use is strongly predictive of actual condom use (Albarracin et al, 2001;Beadnell, Gillmore, Morrison, Huang, & Stielstra, 2008;Sheeran & Orbell, 1998). Self-efficacy is also an important determinant of HIV-related behaviors (Casey, Timmermann, Allen, Krahn, & Turkiewicz, 2009).…”

A pilot clustered randomized control trial evaluating the efficacy of a network-based HIV peer-education intervention targeting men who have sex with men in HIV is a serious health threat among men who have sex with men (MSM). A 2-month pilot network-based peer intervention was conducted among Chinese MSM in Hong Kong. Eight MSM peer educators were randomized into the Intervention or the Control Groups and recruited 36 and 33 peers to join the program, respectively. The educators of the Intervention Group delivered standardized and theory-based preventive messages to their peers via daily social interactions. The Control Group received education materials. Baseline between-group differences were non-significant. At post-intervention, intervened participants were more likely than controlled participants to intend to use condoms consistently during anal sex with men in the next 6 months [94.4% versus 60.6%; Relative Risk (RR): 1.56 (95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.17, 2.08)] and to perceive behavioral control over taking up voluntary HIV testing and counseling [97.2% versus 72.7%; RR: 1.34 (95% CI: 1.08, 1.66)]. Large scale randomized trials are warranted.

“…Comprehensive searches of Medline , PsycINFO , and Communication & Mass Media Complete databases were conducted through April 2013 using the following combination of key words, with asterisks used as “wild cards” to find multiple variations of each word: ( adolescen * OR teen * OR youth OR middle school OR high school ) AND ( communicat * OR discuss * OR negotiat * OR assert * OR talk OR influence OR compliance gain ) AND ( condom * OR contracept * OR unprotected sex OR safe * sex OR sex * risk ). Additional studies of potential relevance were located by examining review articles and meta-analyses related to sexual communication (Allen et al, 2002; Bastien, Kajula, & Muhwezi, 2011; Casey, Timmermann, Allen, Krahn, & Turkiewicz, 2009; Commendador, 2010; DiIorio, Pluhar, & Belcher, 2003; East, Jackson, O’Brien, & Peters, 2007; Guilamo-Ramos, Bouris, Lee, McCarthy, Michael, Pitt-Barnes, & Dittus, 2012; Jaccard, Dodge, & Dittus, 2002; Kotchick, Shaffer, & Forehand, 2001; Miller, Benson, & Galbraith, 2001; Noar, Carlyle, & Cole, 2006; Sheeran et al, 1999).

Objective Condom use is critical for the health of sexually active adolescents, and yet many adolescents fail to use condoms consistently. One interpersonal factor that may be key to condom use is sexual communication between sexual partners; however, the association between communication and condom use has varied considerably in prior studies of youth. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to synthesize the growing body of research linking adolescents’ sexual communication to condom use, and to examine several moderators of this association. Methods A total of 41 independent effect sizes from 34 studies with 15,046 adolescent participants (Mage=16.8, age range=12–23) were meta-analyzed. Results Results revealed a weighted mean effect size of the sexual communication-condom use relationship of r = .24, which was statistically heterogeneous (Q=618.86, p<.001, I2 =93.54). Effect sizes did not differ significantly by gender, age, recruitment setting, country of study, or condom measurement timeframe; however, communication topic and communication format were statistically significant moderators (p<.001). Larger effect sizes were found for communication about condom use (r = .34) than communication about sexual history (r = .15) or general safer sex topics (r = .14). Effect sizes were also larger for communication behavior formats (r = .27) and self-efficacy formats (r = .28), than for fear/concern (r = .18), future intention (r = .15), or communication comfort (r = −.15) formats. Conclusions Results highlight the urgency of emphasizing communication skills, particularly about condom use, in HIV/STI prevention work for youth. Implications for the future study of sexual communication are discussed.
