  • Sexual Health
  • Men's Health

Background:

  • Condom use is crucial for preventing unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
  • Understanding factors associated with condom failure is essential for improving sexual health outcomes among young men.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the prevalence and risk factors associated with condom breakage in a national sample of young men.
  • To inform targeted interventions for reducing condom failure rates.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of a nationally representative sample of men aged 17-22.
  • Multivariate statistical analyses to determine the association between various factors and condom breakage.

  • 23% of young men reported condom breakage in the past year; 2.5% of all condoms used broke.
  • Increased condom experience and recent sex education were associated with reduced breakage risk.
  • History of sexually transmitted disease (STD) and lower household income (<$60,000) significantly increased the likelihood of condom breakage.

    • Conclusions:

    • Condom breakage is a notable issue among young men, influenced by socioeconomic and health factors.
    • Targeted interventions focusing on education and addressing socioeconomic disparities may reduce condom failure rates.
