AB OBJECTIVE: To determine the correlates of condom use in University
Freshmen at a southeastern university. METHODS: After a one hour
training session, resident assistants distributed questionnaires to all
first year students residing in university residence halls. A subset of
875 sexually active students provided the data reported here. Data
obtained included sociodemographic status, attitudes and knowledge about
HIV disease, previous and current sexual behavior and substance use.
RESULTS: Frequency of condom use was related to gender, alcohol use and
HIV risk but not to race, parental income or use of marijuana. Condoms
were used always or most of the time by whites (60%) and non-whites
(52%). Statistically significant differences were observed in reasons
for condom use by gender but not by race or income. CONCLUSIONS:
Knowledge of such correlates to condom use as gender, alcohol use and
HIV risk and in particular, reasons for condom use/non-use, provides the
information necessary for designing audience specific condom messages.
Our data suggest a sizable number of sexually active university students
are in need of such messages.
