“…In particular, women report higher self-efficacy scores except for purchasing condoms in which men exceed women. This difference, in line with past studies [ 50 ], may be related to traditional gender characters that hinders women’s public spaces, making difficult their self-protection against STI exposure [ 53 – 54 ]. In the case of men, self-efficacy to put on a condom would reveal the lowest results compared to women.…”

Self-efficacy seems to be one of the most important resources for the different stages underlying condom use and STI prevention. For this reason, this study evaluates trends in self-efficacy by gender, from 2004 to 2008, 2013 and 2020 in Spain. Throughout these years, 6,698 people ranging from 17 to 40 years old, participated filling the Brief scale of condom use self-efficacy. According to our findings, despite the slight improvement in the recent years, self-efficacy still maintains a risky profile for safe sex, especially among the youngest people. Moreover, most of the traditional gender differences continue over the years with women reporting lower scores for condom purchase and men for putting them. However, these differences are not relevant in other dimensions such as using condoms despite drug consumption where women reveal worse results over the years. Therefore, our findings reaffirm the need of intensifying gendered preventive efforts aimed at Spanish people and, particularly, among the youngest.

“…Additionally, women would get worse results over the years in being afraid of somebody rejecting me. Probably, gendered socialization of sexuality would increase social desirability and shame among women, showing more difficulties to manage some social contexts and the related self-efficacy [ 53 – 54 ].…”

“…Increased accessibility and location convenience, especially within school and university environments, are often cited as benefits to this vending machine model (Algur et al, 2019; Andrzejewski et al, 2019; Kirby, 2002; Kirby et al, 1999) and may improve attendance and academic performance (Allison et al, 2019). Prior research suggests maintaining privacy and accessibility, while guaranteeing product quality, and expanding product offerings to meet the needs of the intended consumers may be important considerations (DeMaria et al, 2020; Ramos-Ortiz et al, 2020). This research continues to suggest that location, product availability, and marketing approaches also influence uptake and use among the intended audience.…”

Lack of access to affordable, accessible, over-the-counter medications and health-related items affects school attendance, academic performance, and individual health. Increasing access through innovations, such as Pharmacy Vending Machines (PhVMs), may address the burdens students face in university settings. In January 2021, two PhVMs were placed on Purdue University’s campus to increase access to affordable and dependable 24/7 family planning items, cold/flu remedies, and other popular over-the-counter pharmaceuticals. Based on the success of the initiative and growing student body, the program was expanded to include two additional machines in August 2021. In this article, we detail how Purdue University planned, implemented, and evaluated a campus-wide PhVM program, which was an interdisciplinary collaboration across students, faculty, and staff in the College of Health and Human Sciences and College of Pharmacy. Pharmaceutical product availability in convenient vending machines dispersed throughout a campus contributes to a solution for the increasing demand for health products among consumers in large geographic areas.
