“…43,190 Consistent evidence supports condoms as reducing the risk of disease transmitted to and from the penile urethra, including gonorrhea, Chlamydia, trichomoniasis, hepatitis B, and HIV. [191][192][193][194][195] Emerging evidence also supports condoms as reducing the risk of acquiring diseases transmitted through skin or mucosal contact, including genital herpes simplex virus, 196,197 human papillomavirus, 198,199 and syphilis. 200 Because condoms protect against STIs, all sexually active adolescents should be encouraged to use condoms, regardless of whether an additional contraceptive method is used.…”

A working knowledge of contraception will assist the pediatrician in both sexual health promotion as well as treatment of common adolescent gynecologic problems. Best practices in adolescent anticipatory guidance and screening include a sexual health history, screening for pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, counseling, and if indicated, providing access to contraceptives. Pediatricians’ long-term relationships with adolescents and families allow them to help promote healthy sexual decision-making, including abstinence and contraceptive use. Additionally, medical indications for contraception, such as acne, dysmenorrhea, and heavy menstrual bleeding, are frequently uncovered during adolescent visits. This technical report provides an evidence base for the accompanying policy statement and addresses key aspects of adolescent contraceptive use, including the following: (1) sexual history taking, confidentiality, and counseling; (2) adolescent data on the use and side effects of newer contraceptive methods; (3) new data on older contraceptive methods; and (4) evidence supporting the use of contraceptives in adolescent patients with complex medical conditions.

“…1 Advantages include male involvement in the responsibility for contraception, easy accessibility by minors without a prescription, and low cost. Latex condoms also reduce STI transmission, with consistent evidence for the reduction of gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, [119][120][121][122][123] and hepatitis B and HIV transmission 124 and emerging evidence for the reduction of herpes simplex virus, 125,126 human papillomavirus, 127,128 and syphilis transmission. 129 However, condom use requires commitment at every sex act, tends to drop off over time, and is influenced by individual, relationship, and broader social factors.…”

Contraception is a pillar in reducing adolescent pregnancy rates. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that pediatricians develop a working knowledge of contraception to help adolescents reduce risks of and negative health consequences related to unintended pregnancy. Over the past 10 years, a number of new contraceptive methods have become available to adolescents, newer guidance has been issued on existing contraceptive methods, and the evidence base for contraception for special populations (adolescents who have disabilities, are obese, are recipients of solid organ transplants, or are HIV infected) has expanded. The Academy has addressed contraception since 1980, and this policy statement updates the 2007 statement on contraception and adolescents. It provides the pediatrician with a description and rationale for best practices in counseling and prescribing contraception for adolescents. It is supported by an accompanying technical report.

“…(9,11,14) However, this study found that young adults take less risks when engaging in sexual intercourse away from home, with higher levels of condom use and lower levels of delayed application. These findings are novel, highlighting the importance of context when trying to understand intentional user errors, such as the late application of condoms.…”

“…The late or delayed application of a condom, an intentional user error, is a relatively common behaviour (5)(6)(7)(8) compromising the protective effects of condoms. (9) Despite the prevalence of late application it is unclear why people who are obviously motivated to use a condom do not do so from the time of initial penetration. This is due, in part, to a reliance on summary measures of condom use error in the literature, combining either intentional errors (late application and early removal) and non-intentional errors (condom breakage, slippage or leakage), (5,(9)(10) or intentional errors alone as an indicator of incomplete condom use.…”

Objective: To examine the influence of condom decision making, arousal and other contextual factors on the late application of condoms among young men and women during a recent sexual event at home and away from home such as on holidays.Method: A retrospective, cross-sectional study design was used. A subset of participants aged 19-30 years from the national Irish Study of Sexual Health and Relationships were re-contacted (N=388); 51% men. Telephone interviews regarding participants' most recent sexual event at home (n=362) and away from home (n=178) were conducted. Participants reported on their condom use during each event and whether a condom was applied after initial penetration.
