Annotation: Prevention of HIV, other sexually transmitted diseases, and unwanted pregnancy - Testing physical barriers available to women

Z. Stein and M. Susser

American Journal of Public Health, 1998, vol. 88, issue 6, 872-874

Abstract: In summary, consideration of the 3 issues argued briefly here yields guidelines for research into barrier methods that women might adopt. We conclude, at this point in time, that trials might best test program effect rather than efficacy; that the experimental intervention, to be measured against male condoms in the control group, should offer a choice between a hierarchy of methods; and that the design should encompass the group level rather than solely the individual level.
