Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Adolescent Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remain significant public health concerns among adolescents.
  • Condom use is a primary strategy for preventing STI/HIV transmission and unintended pregnancies in this demographic.
  • Understanding adolescent condom use is vital for effective public health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current data on the contraceptive and prophylactic properties of condoms.
  • To summarize existing information on adolescent condom use levels and influencing factors.
  • To propose evidence-based recommendations for increasing condom use among adolescents.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of research studies focusing on adolescents and college students.

  • Analysis of data on contraceptive and prophylactic characteristics of condoms.
  • Synthesis of findings on current adolescent condom use and associated factors.

    • Main Results:

    • Condoms demonstrate significant contraceptive and prophylactic efficacy when used correctly and consistently.
    • Adolescent condom use rates vary, influenced by factors such as perceived risk, access, education, and social norms.
    • Specific demographic and psychosocial factors are associated with lower or higher rates of condom use.

    Conclusions:

    • Increased condom use among adolescents is essential for controlling STI and HIV transmission.
    • Targeted interventions addressing identified barriers are needed to improve adolescent condom uptake.
    • Further research may be beneficial in areas with limited data on adolescent condom use.
