Date of Defense 1997-05-05 Availability unrestricted Abstract This study proposes that health beliefs and self-efficacy are relatedto condom use among college students. An anonymous survey,
developed to pursue correlates of condom use, was administered to
370 college students. The survey consisted of a variety of single-
item measures of demographics and sexual behaviors, as well as
measures which assessed self-efficacy, perceived benefits and
barriers of condom use, and perceived susceptibility and severity of
HIV/AIDS. Correlation and regression analysis was conducted to
test the relationship between these variables and condom use. The
results show that certain dimensions of self-efficacy were positively
related to condom use. Measures assessing perceived barriers to
condom use were negatively related to condom use. Scale
development issues, implications of these findings and
recommendations for future research are presented.
