This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a videotape intervention on knowledge and attitudes regarding condom use among STD patients.
Two studies assessing the impact of a soap-opera style videotape on knowledge and attitudes.
Participants included inner-city STD patients; intervention involved watching a videotape and oral recall session.
Coupon redemption for free condoms was measured to evaluate the willingness to use condoms.
Subjects who viewed the videotape had higher knowledge scores (11.1 vs. 7.9) and more accepting attitudes (13.0 vs. 11.3).
The intervention was especially effective for less-educated individuals and those with infrequent condom use.
Intervention group subjects were more likely to redeem coupons for free condoms compared to control subjects.
