AB This study assessed the applicability of the transtheoretical model of
behavior change (J.O. Prochaska & C.C. DiClemente, 1983, 1984) to the
measurement of contraceptive use among 296 women at high risk for HIV
infection and transmission. Structural equation modeling suggested that
a measure of general contraceptive use could be used to assess use of
oral contraceptives and hormonal implants but that measurement of condom
use required separate assessments for main and other partners.
Self-efficacy (SE) and decisional balance scales were internally
consistent for general contraceptive use, for condom use with main
partners, and for condom use with other partners. Consistent with
research on other health behaviors, SE scores rose significantly across
stages, from precontemplation to maintenance, and a shift in decisional
balance was observed for 2 of 3 behaviors. This measurement strategy may
enhance the ability to evaluate prevention programs for women at risk.
