Abstract
Objective: Using the National Survey of Family Growth we
examine the associations of formal
education related to sexually transmitted diseases to condom usage
outcomes at first sex, and of
STD testing to the condom use outcome at last sex and at condom use
consistency in the past 12
months for a population of male participants aged 15-44.
Methods: The data source used was a cross-sectional survey
design and statistical analyses were
conducted using SAS. Survey procedures were used to adjust for the
complex sample design of
the NSFG dataset. Models with bivariate outcomes for condom use at
first sex, condom use at last
sex, and condom use consistency for the last 12 months, were
analyzed using chi-square tests and
logistic modeling. The predictor variables of interest were STD
education before first sex for
condom use at first sex, and having been tested for STDs in the
past 12 months, for condom use
at last sex and condom use consistency.
Results: Age at interview, and sexual experiences such as
age at last sex, relationships to partners,
number of partners, HIV/AIDS education and recent STD advice were
significant. The variables
that were non-significant across all three condom outcomes were
formal instruction about STDs
before 18, grade when received instruction on STDs, recent genital
warts, and had recent sex with
an HIV-positive female.
The models for condom use at first sex and condom use consistency
were not significant.
Condom use at last sex yielded a final model where having been
tested for STDs in the past
month was significant (p<.0001) when controlling for receiving
recent STD advice (p=0.749),
relationship to partner at last sex (p=0.0003), reason for condom
use at last sex (p<.0001),
condom use attitudes (p=0.1382), age at interview (p<.0001), and
race (p<.0001).
Conclusion: The findings from this study draw associations
between condom usage and STD
education and experience, as well as the influence of relationships
and condom use attitudes.
These results are useful in creating effective strategies to
increase condom use behavior by
identifying populations at risk, and time periods for intervention
and education to control for the
spread of STDs.
