Objectives We explored socio-demographic, sexual experience, and psychosocial
factors influencing condom use intentions of adolescents in Northern Ghana. Methods
Based on social cognitive theories and previous empirical studies investigating condom
use, a cross sectional survey was conducted among 2018 adolescents (M age = 15.8 ears) in Bolgatanga, Ghana. Correlations and multinomial logistic regressions were
performed. Results Findings showed that attitudes towards condom availability,
injunctive norms towards condom use, sex experience, perceived susceptibility towards
STIs, and perceived behavioral control towards buying as well as using condoms
differentiated between people with different levels of intentions to use condoms.
Conclusions Implications for intervention development are discussed
