Brief report on the effect of providing single versus assorted brand name condoms to hospital patients: a descriptive study
Objectives
This study examined condom acquisition by persons in a hospital setting when single versus assorted brand name condoms were provided.
Methods
Condom receptacles were placed in exam rooms of two clinics. During Phase 1, a single brand name was provided; for Phase 2, assorted brand names were added. Number of condoms taken was recorded for each phase.
Results
For one clinic there was nearly a two-fold increase in number of condoms taken (Phase 1 to Phase 2); for the second clinic there was negligible difference in number of condoms taken.
Conclusions
The provision of assorted brand name condoms, over a single brand name, can serve to increase condom acquisition. Locations of condoms and target population characteristics are related factors.
