This study assessed the effectiveness of a sexually transmitted disease (STD)\/HIV behavior change intervention in increasing women's use of the female condom. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Methods. A total of 604 women at high risk for STDs and HIV in New York City, Baltimore, Md, and Seattle, Wash, enrolled in a randomized controlled trial of a small-group, skills-training intervention that included information and skills training in the use of the female condom. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results. In a logistic regression, the strongest predictors of use were exposure to the intervention (odds ratio [OR] = 5.5; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.8, 10.7), intention to use the female condom in the future (OR = 4.5; 95% CI = 2.4, 8.5), having asked a partner to use a condom in the past 30 days (OR = 2.3; 95% CI = 1.3, 3.9), and confidence in asking a partner to use a condom (OR = 1.9; 95% CI = 1.1, 3.5). <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions. Clinicians counseling women in the use of the female condom need to provide information, demonstrate its correct use with their clients, and provide an opportunity for their clients to practice skills themselves. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.92.1.109","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,2]],"date-time":"2008-12-02T00:04:35Z","timestamp":1228176275000},"page":"109-115","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Effect of an STD\/HIV Behavioral Intervention on Women's Use of the Female Condom"],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"92","author":[{"given":"Nancy","family":"Van Devanter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nancy Van Devanter, Cheryl Merzel, and Nina S.
