Psychological determinants of condom use
Psychologické determinanty používání kondomů
Práce se zabývá některými psychologickými aspekty podmiňující užívání kondomů. Patří mezi ně hlavně postoje a normy, subjektivní i sociální, u adolescentů pak i normy vrstevnické. Užití kondomu je pravděpodobnější v náhodných vztazích bez citové angažovanosti. Kondom patří k nejspolehlivějším způsobům ochrany před nákazou pohlavně přenosnými chorobami včetně HIV/AIDS, jeho účinnost je však snižována nesprávným užíváním.
