“…Similarly, Bosompra's (2001) data supported the model, explaining 33% of the variance in condom use intentions among 201 university students in southern Ghana. These study findings are consistent with previous studies that explained variances noted in intended condom use based on the TPB variables and were found to be as high as 47% (Fedadu & Kraft, 2001). In a study conducted by Fedadu and Kraft (2001) with 354 sexually active Ethiopian females ages 15-19, subjective norms predicted intentions better than did attitude.…”

“…Despite the inability of attitudes to add significance in a previous study (Fedadu & Kraft, 2001), the applicability of attitudes have provided mixed results in its predictive power when compared to subjective norms and PBC. A number of other studies on intentions to use condoms seem to have confirmed that the effect of attitude exceeds that of subjective norms and PBC (Armitage & Conner, 2001;Beadnell et al, 2008;Boileau, Rashed, Sylla, & Zunzunegui, 2008;Broaddus & Bryan, 2008;Chitamun & Finchilescu, 2003;Molla et al, 2007;Rivis & Sherran, 2003;Shearer, Hosterman, Gillen, & Lefkowitz, 2005).…”

“…On the other hand, the TPB has predicted 33 and 43 % of the intention to use condoms in young people [15][16][17], the intention to refuse sex with a new partner [18] or the intention to use contraception [19]. In a meta-analysis by Albarracin, Johnson, Fishbein and Muellerleile, a total of 96 studies using the TPB as a basic model to explain the condom use were examined [20].…”

Heterosexual transmission represents 26 % of newly diagnosed infection in Spanish youth. Behavioral change models have emphasized the influence of multiple variables to predict condom use behavior. The aim of this study is to examine how those variables are organized and which theory explains the condom use behavior better. A sample of 424 young heterosexuals (M age = 20.62; SD = 2.16) filled out a battery of self-report questionnaires for assessing AIDS-related variables, personality traits and clinical variables (general, sexuality-related and health-related). A structural model was specified that included perceived pleasure and condom use self-efficacy as predictive variables. Depression and sexual compulsivity indirectly influence behavior. The final model accounted for 65.9 % of the variance in behavior. These results highlight the importance of cognitive and emotional variables as predictors of behavior (ex. expectations of pleasure and self-efficacy beliefs). This is important information for designing effective psychological interventions.Resumen La transmisión heterosexual representa el 26 % de los nuevos diagnósticos de VIH en los jóvenes españoles. Los modelos de cambio de comportamiento han enfatizado la influencia de múltiples variables para predecir el uso del preservativo. El objetivo del presente estudio es examinar cómo se organizan estas variables y qué teoría explica mejor esta conducta. Una muestra de 424 jóvenes heterosexuales (x edad = 20.62; SD = 2.16) completó una batería de cuestionarios sobre Sida, rasgos de personalidad y variables clínicas (generales, sexuales y de salud). Los resultados obtenidos utilizando modelos de ecuaciones estructurales apoyan una relación directa entre uso del preservativo y autoeficacia y placer percibido. Las variables depresión y compulsividad sexual influyen indirectamente sobre la conducta. El modelo explica el 65.9 % de la varianza. Estos resultados destacan la importancia de las variables cognitivas y emocionales como predictoras del comportamiento. Esta información es importante para el diseño de intervenciones psicológicas eficaces.

World Health Organization (WHO) defines "youths" as age group of 15 to 24 years, and are characterized by significant physiological, psychological and social changes that place their life at high risk. Youth who initiate sexual activity earlier get exposed to risks such as sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy, at a time when their developmental status places them at a disadvantage in the assessment and management of these risks. The objective of this research was to assess the prevalence and factors associated with risk of sexual behavior among youths in Haramaya Secondary and Preparatory School. Institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted. Simple random sampling technique was used to select a sample of 394 participants. A structured, pretested and self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Collected data was entered and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Crude and adjusted odds ratio with its confidence interval was used as measure of association and statistical significance was declared at P<0.05. Among 363 school youths who completed the questionnaire, 134 (36.9%) were sexually active and more than quarter (25.3%) of the youth had engaged in risky sexual behavior. Living arrangement, substance use, watching pornographic movie, age at sex doubt, peer influence and perceived family control were predictors of risky sexual behavior. This study revealed that risky sexual practice of the study area was relatively high among the respondents. The school, local health bureau and stakeholders should work together to address the identified risky behaviors with particular focus on behaviour change communication.
