Ample opportunity exits to employ such strategies in university settings. This study evaluated a sex-positive, home-practice intervention designed to promote condom use among university undergraduates engaging in penile\u2013vaginal intercourse (PVI). A sample of 29 opposite-sex undergraduate couples, engaging in PVI, was recruited from a large university. After teaching couples about condom use, a health educator helped couples select condoms\/lubricants from options comprising various sizes, fits, shapes, textures, and other features. A 30-day \u2018homework assignment\u2019 was made to use these products while reducing condom use errors\/problems and enhancing sexual pleasure. A repeated measures design, with a six-month observation period, was used to evaluate the program. Over the six-month period, the mean frequency of condomless PVI decreased from 26.4 to 3.9 times ( P\u2009&lt;\u2009.001). Significant and favorable changes were also found relative to attitudes toward condom use ( P\u2009= \u2009.027) and in condom use self-efficacy ( P\u2009&lt;\u2009.001). Most students completing the follow-up assessment indicated the intervention would favorably impact their future condom use. Findings suggest this intervention program may be important to promoting condom use among university couples engaging in PVI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0956462420933056","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,4]],"date-time":"2020-09-04T01:10:11Z","timestamp":1599181811000},"page":"1149-1153","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A home-practice intervention for increasing condom use among university undergraduates"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"JaNelle","family":"Ricks","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Public Health, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0920-1864","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Richard A","family":"Crosby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Kinsey Institute, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"},{"name":"Department of Health Behavior, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, USA"},{"name":"The Rural Center for AIDS and STD Prevention, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cynthia A","family":"Graham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Kinsey Institute, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"},{"name":"The Rural Center for AIDS and STD Prevention, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"},{"name":"Department of Psychology, Southampton University, Southampton, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephanie A","family":"Sanders","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Kinsey Institute, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"},{"name":"The Rural Center for AIDS and STD Prevention, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"},{"name":"Department of Gender Studies, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robin R","family":"Milhausen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Kinsey Institute, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"},{"name":"The Rural Center for AIDS and STD Prevention, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"},{"name":"Department of Family Relations and Applied Nutrition, University of Guelph, Guelph, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"William L","family":"Yarber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Kinsey Institute, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"},{"name":"The Rural Center for AIDS and STD Prevention, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"},{"name":"School of Public Health-Bloomington, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0956462420933056","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.\n                      2016 sexually transmitted diseases surveillance.\n                      Washington: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2016."},{"key":"bibr2-0956462420933056","unstructured":"Finer LB and, Zolna MR.\n                      2016 sexually transmitted diseases surveillance\n                      .
