  1. Behavioral Intention and Partner Type on Condom Use Among Men in Drug Treatment Yong S. Song, PhD, University of California, San Francisco Donald Calsyn, PhD, University of Washington Suzanne Doyle, PhD, University of Washington Rhodri Dierst-Davies, MPH, Friends Research Institute TeChieh Chen, BA, University of Washington

  2. Background • Many substance users enrolled in treatment continue to engage in high-risk sexual behaviors • HIV risk reduction interventions delivered in drug treatment programs are effective in reducing HIV risk behaviors among drug users

  3. Background • Positive attitudes and expectancies about condom use are associated with more consistent condom use • Perceptions of HIV and STI risk are associated with actual condom use

  4. Purpose • Secondary outcome analysis from NIDA CTN 018, “Safer Sex Skills for Men” • Explored the effects of the following on Condom Use: • Behavioral Intentions to Use Condoms • Sexual Partner Type

  5. Method Participants: Men enrolled in a NIDA Clinical Trials Network (CTN18) gender specific HIV-prevention intervention • 7 MMT & 7 outpatient psychosocial programs • Interventions: Randomly assigned to either: • HIV-Ed: Single-session standard HIV education intervention • REMAS: Five-session gender-specific HIV prevention intervention • Measurement: • ACASI Assessments at baseline, 3- & 6-mos f/u

  9. Predicting Condom Use at Most Recent Sexual Event from Intention to Use Condoms with Casual Partners CP = Casual Partner * p<.05

  10. Data Analytic Plan: Condom use by Regular vs. Casual Partner Primary Outcome (dependent) Variable: Condom Use with Regular or Casual partner (Binary variable) Approach: Repeated Measures Logistic Regression Model Independent variables used in models: Intervention Condition (HIV-Ed or REMAS) Time (Baseline, 3-mos, 6-mos) Treatment x Time Time-varying covariate used in the model: Frequency of vaginal and anal intercourse occasions with either regular or casual partners at baseline, 3-mos, and 6-mos follow-up points

  15. Conclusions • Behavioral intentions to use condoms at baseline were better predictors of condom use with regular partners than with casual sexual partners. • However, behavioral intentions to use condom ratings at the follow up data points were stronger predictors of condom use than baseline ratings for both causal and regular sexual partners.

  16. Conclusions • Neither intervention appeared to affect actual condom use with regular partners. • For casual partners, the single-session HIV-Ed intervention appeared to have a time limited effect on actual condom use. • For the REMAS treatment condition there was in incremental increase in condom use with Casual Partners at both 3- and 6-months.

  17. Limitations • Reliability of self-report outcome data • No Post-intervention data point for behavioral intentions to use condoms • Other factors may account for the difference in condom use
