| Title | The NYC Condom: use and acceptability of New York City's branded condom. | | Author(s) | Burke RC, Wilson J, Bernstein KT, Grosskopf N, Murrill C, Cutler B, Sweeney M, Begier EM | | Institution | Bureau of HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control, New York City Department of Health & Mental Hygiene, 125 Worth, Room 204, New York, NY 10013, USA. | | Source | Am J Public Health 2009 Dec; 99(12):2178-80. | | Abstract | We assessed awareness and experience with the NYC Condom via surveys at 7 public events targeting priority condom distribution populations during 2007. Most respondents (76%) were aware of NYC Condoms. Of those that had obtained them, 69% had used them. Most (80%) wanted alternative condoms offered for free: 22% wanted ultra-thin, 18% extra-strength, and 14% larger-size. Six months after the NYC Condom launch, we found high levels of awareness and use. Because many wanted alternative condoms, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene began distributing the 3 most-requested alternatives. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
