PERCEPTIONS AND PRACTICES RELATING TO CONDOM USE AMONG URBAN MEN IN HAITI

This report is based on a survey conducted in 1986-87 of sexually active adult male residents in a low-income community of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The objectives were to investigate knowledge of and attitudes toward condoms; to evaluate the effectiveness of the existing condom distribution program; and to obtain information that can be used in the design of strategies to increase condom acceptance and use among men throughout Haiti. Although condoms are almost universally known, they are rarely used. The majority felt that the resonsibility for family planning should be borne by the women. -from Authors
