Study: Men From Rural Areas Often Use Condoms Incorrectly

[matcom]

Men who live in rural areas often use condoms incorrectly, according to a study out this week that Indiana University researchers say underscores the shortcomings of sex education in Hoosier public schools.

Almost half the men who answered IU survey questions about their latest sexual encounters with women admitted they waited too long to put on a condom or took it off too soon.

Researchers say the study of 75 men statewide stands apart from other condom research because it focuses on how men use condoms instead of how often. Rural men were singled out as part of broader attempts to track AIDS prevention efforts in those areas.
"We did these studies to find out, are people actually making mistakes?" said William Yarber, a researcher at IU's Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction. "And if they are, of course, those mistakes expose them to unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases."

"Many schools don't talk about condoms for pregnancy and STD prevention, and even fewer talk about the details of correct use," Yarber said. "From a public health perspective, we feel that information leads to less risky behavior."
Bob Klitzman, former president of the state's Small and Rural
Schools Association, believes safe-sex lessons belong outside the schoolhouse doors.

"The schools cannot do everything," said Klitzman, superintendent of Eastern Pulaski Schools in Northwest Indiana. "I would rather have the education, the efforts, the money, go to organizations and have them educate parents on what to do, what to say and how to say it."
