Abstract

One of the challenges facing researchers in the domain of human immunodeficiency virus prevention is the assessment of condom use in an unbiased self-reported manner. The current study presents the development and preliminary validation of an indirect condom use test (I-CUTE), designed to assess condom use tendencies and to overcome self-report biases. Two samples were included using correlational designs. In sample 1, 88 students from European university completed the I-CUTE with questionnaires of condom use barriers, social desirability, and condom use negotiation self-efficacy. In sample 2, 212 students from sub-Saharan universities completed the I-CUTE with questionnaires of condom use barriers and knowledge. The I-CUTE included 17 pictures of human figures in relation to condom use, where participants had to choose one of the four a-priori given sentences reflecting the figures' thoughts. This represented a semi-projective, yet standardized test. In sample 1, I-CUTE scores were inversely related to barriers, positively correlated with condom use negotiation self-efficacy and unrelated to social desirability. In sample 2, I-CUTE scores were inversely related to barriers and unrelated to knowledge scores. In a multiple regression, condom use barriers had a unique contribution to explaining variance in I-CUTE scores, beyond the contribution of background variables and knowledge. These results support the preliminary reliability and validity of the I-CUTE tool in a variety of cultures, and reveal its lack of bias by social desirability and the importance of condom use barriers in condom use tendencies.

避孕套使用间接测量的新方法及其与障碍的关系。
研究人员在人类免疫缺陷病毒预防领域面临的挑战之一是以公正的自我报告的方式评估避孕套的使用情况。目前的研究提出了间接避孕套使用测试(I-CUTE)的发展和初步验证,旨在评估避孕套的使用倾向并克服自我报告的偏见。采用相关设计纳入两个样本。在样本1中,88名来自欧洲大学的学生完成了I-CUTE的安全套使用障碍、社会期望和安全套使用谈判自我效能问卷。在样本2中,来自撒哈拉以南非洲大学的212名学生完成了I-CUTE的安全套使用障碍和知识问卷。I-CUTE包括17张与使用避孕套有关的人物图片,参与者必须从4个预先给出的句子中选择一个,这些句子反映了人物的想法。这是一个半投影的标准化测试。在样本1中,I-CUTE得分与障碍呈负相关,与安全套使用谈判自我效能正相关,与社会期望无关。在样本2中,I-CUTE得分与障碍呈负相关,与知识得分无关。在多元回归中,避孕套使用障碍对解释I-CUTE分数的差异有独特的贡献,超出了背景变量和知识的贡献。这些结果支持了I-CUTE工具在各种文化中的初步可靠性和有效性,并揭示了它不受社会期望的影响,以及避孕套使用障碍在避孕套使用倾向中的重要性。
