Unsafe sex can lead to unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. Traditionally, safer sex interventions have promoted condom use in high-risk populations. This approach overlooks the wider complexities of condom use, particularly the fact that safer sex involves a process of five condom-related behaviors: accessing, carrying, negotiating, using, and disposing.
Furthermore, safer sex is relevant to all individuals across the lifespan. Thus, excluding low-risk populations from interventions may be contributing to the continual rise in STIs in the UK. Theory can be useful as a framework for exploring behavior and developing interventions.
This book, therefore, provides a new approach to exploring condom-related behaviors and delivering an intervention in a broad population. It will be useful to students wishing to understand how theory can be used to explore a real-world problem, and also beneficial for healthcare professionals interested in intervention development.
Data presented in this book illustrates the stages of intervention development.
