Methods
We compiled the survey instrument from questions previously psychometrically validated in commensurate populations. The survey inquired into demographics, medical history, condom knowledge, use, and negotiation skills. We recruited a convenience sample of women from the Ob/Gyn and Infectious Disease waiting rooms of a large urban medical center in Washington D.C. We used descriptive statistics to describe study subjects’ characteristics. We used T-test and Wilcoxon rank sum test to investigate differences between groups for continuous variables and the Chi-square and Fisher exact tests for categorical variables. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between binary outcome variables and the explanatory variables adjusting for potential confounding variables.
