AB The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between condom use
for disease prevention and the use of other contraceptives to prevent
pregnancy among young women. Sexually active women aged between 16 and
24 who attended two Brisbane Family Planning Clinics were asked to
complete a questionnaire. The questionnaire asked about contraceptive
practices, including condom use, with casual and steady partners. This
paper examines the patterns of contraceptive and disease prevention
practices of young women and identifies the most common reasons that
they do not use condoms and the reasons that they do use condoms. This
study has implications for educators and clinicians. Young women who are
prescribed the pill need to be made aware of the need for condom use to
protect themselves against sexually transmitted diseases if they have
multiple partners.
