Description:
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>This study examined condom use during first sexual intercourse, with a large sample of university students. Differences in condom use based on individual, family, relational, and situational variables were considered; in addition to the year when sexual intercourse occurred. A steady increase in condom use was found from the 1980s to the present time. Among other factors found to be associated with the likelihood of condom use during first sexual intercourse were being older at first intercourse, having a higher family social class, having first sex in a serious and longer relationship (as compared to a casual or brief relationship), and not consuming alcohol. Some differences in predictors of condom use were found based on cohort and sex of respondent.</jats:p>
