Abstract
Condom availability programs (CAPs) may increase access to condoms & contribute to increased condom use among youth. This study describes the characteristics, degree of satisfaction, & gender differences among users of a CAP implemented in two high schools in Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico). A kiosk distributing free male condoms was set up in two high schools in Tijuana. Kiosk users (N=570) were more likely to be male, young, &/or enrolled in a lower SES school. Most kiosk users were either sexually active or planning to have sex. Females were less likely to request condoms & to continue using the kiosk, but more likely to request information on other contraceptive methods. Results demonstrate the feasibility of implementing CAPs in Mexican schools & suggest that these programs can improve adolescents' condom access. Tables, Figures, References.
