“…Still, such an interpretation is neither supported from findings of this review, nor from previous African studies testing the TRA/TPB (e.g. Wilson et al 1992), nor from the general TRA/TPB literature (Albarracín et al 2001). At best, the literature is inconclusive as to whether attitudes or subjective norms are superior correlates/predictors of intentions.…”

Amongst the psychological theories that have been used to help understand why people have unprotected sex, the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB: Ajzen 1991) has earned a prominent position. This article is a critical review of 11 peer-reviewed studies conducted in sub-Saharan Africa during 2001 to 2009, which used the TPB as a model of predicting sexual risk behaviour in young people. All the studies revealed the predictive ability of the TPB in urban, rural, and traditional African settings, with R (2) coefficients ranging between 0.14 and 0.67. With data comparing favourably to those obtained in the international literature, these studies indicate that the TPB can be used to study sexual risk intentions and behaviour in sub-Saharan African youth, and question arguments against the theory's use in non-Western settings.

An empirical test of the Theory of Planned Behaviour applied to contraceptive use in rural Uganda

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

There is a high unmet need for contraceptives in developing countries such as Uganda, with high population growth, where efforts are needed to promote family planning and contraceptive use. Despite this high need, little research has investigated applications of health behaviour change theories to contraceptive use amongst this population. The present study tested the Theory of Planned Behaviour’s ability to predict contraceptive use-related behaviours among postpartum women in rural Uganda. Results gave modest support to the theory’s application and suggest an urgent need for improved theory-based interventions to promote contraceptive use in the populations of developing countries.

“…Lawrence, 1993). Further, the role of self-efficacy has been investigated on its own and in combination with other models, especially in relation to condom use (Abraham & Sheeran, 1994;Richard & van der Pligt, 1991;Schaalma, 1993;Wilson, Zenda, McMaster, & Lavelle, 1992). For example, the health belief model (Rosenstock, 1966) has been largely applied to condom use (Hingson, Struin, Berlin, & Heeren, 1990), the protection motivation theory (Rogers, 1975) has also been tested in relation to condom use (Van der Velde & van der Pligt, 1991), and the theories of reasoned action and planned behaviour (Ajzen, 1988) have been found to be predictive of condom use intentions, oral contraceptive use intentions, and intra-uterine device use intentions (Boldero, Moore, & Rosenthal, 1992;Doll & Orth, 1993;Fisher, 1984;Jaccard & Davidson, 1972;Pagel & Davidson, 1984).…”

Emergency contraception use and non‐use in young women: The application of a contextual and dynamic model

There have been many approaches to understanding contraception use including social cognition models which have been criticised for their individualistic approach and their static nature. The present quantitative study developed and refined a contextual and dynamic model of contraception use that was derived using qualitative research. This model conceptualizes the predictors of contraception use in terms of the meaning and importance of a range of social goals, perceptions of vulnerability, and constraints on or facilitators of contraception use each of which changes over time. The present study operationalized this model in relation to emergency contraception and explored differences between users and non-users and between episodes of use and non-use. In terms of users and non-users, the results showed that the users of emergency contraception showed a more positive view of an emergency contraception user, perceived greater support from their partner for emergency contraception use, rated themselves more at risk of pregnancy, and felt more confident about asking for emergency contraception. In terms of use and non-use, use was related to an increased belief about the risk of pregnancy, increased partner support, increased concern about health care professionals and the side-effects of the drug, and a more positive identity of an emergency contraception. The study has helped to develop and refine the model and has identified some key factors that are specifically relevant to emergency contraception use in a sample of women in education in and around London.
