OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine ethnic differences in predictors of condom use with casual sex partners in foreign ports by U.S. male enlisted Naval personnel. METHODS: U.S. male enlisted Navy personnel completed an anonymous survey toward the end of deployment on aircraft carriers during 2002-2003. Response rates varied by carrier from 49% to 65%. Analyses were conducted for the largest ethnic subgroups: Anglo (n = 826), African American (n = 236), Latino (n = 224), hi- and multi-racial (n = 132), and Asian (n = 55). RESULTS: Condom self-efficacy and partner norms were significantly related to consistent condom use in all subgroups. The effect of other variables (e.g., marital status, alcohol use) varied with ethnicity. CONCLUSIONS: Ethnic subgroups were more similar than different across psychological variables related to condom use. Findings underscore the importance of social context in understanding the effects of culture and ethnicity on health behaviors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
