description | OBJECTIVE: To estimate factors associated with condom use at last sexual intercourse among adolescents. METHODS: Cross-sectional study of a representative sample of 368 sexually active adolescents aged 13–17 years from eight public high schools on Santiago Island, Cape Verde, 2007.

RESULTS: The prevalence of condom use at last sexual intercourse was 94.9%. Factors associated with condom use at last sexual relationship were: non-Catholic religion (OR=0.68, 95%CI: 0.52; 0.88) and affective-sexual partnership before the interview (OR=5.15, 95%CI: 1.79; 14.80). CONCLUSIONS: There was a high prevalence of condom use at last sexual intercourse of adolescents. |
