Reduction in Prevalence of Sexually Transmitted Infections by Preventive Health Education and Condom Promotion Among Males Having Sex with Males

Abstract

There was significant difference between the two methods of training for both parts of questionnaires (p < 0.001). The Scores obtained shows that the effect of face to face training was twice as lecture based training (p < 0.001). Other variables such as sex, marital status and etc. were not shown any effect on these differences (p = 0.24). Conclusions: The face to face training is more effective than lecture based one. This may be due to possibility of interaction between trainees and trainers or because of feeling more security in asking questions about dangerous behavior. Our findings show that socio-demographic variables do not have any confounding effect on training outcome.
