Meta-analysis evaluates predictors of condom use in a large dataset, suggesting implications for HIV prevention.

This research aims to assess the accuracy of the theories of reasoned action and planned behavior in predicting condom use.
Synthesized 96 data sets (N = 22,594) assessing relationships between key variables of the theories.
Analyzed associations using weighted mean correlation coefficients.
Condom use is significantly related to intentions (weighted mean r = .45).
Intentions are influenced by attitudes (r = .58) and subjective norms (r = .39).
Perceived behavioral control shows moderate association with intentions (r = .45) but not significantly with actual condom use.

Albarracín et al. (2001) studied this question.
