 AB    Data from a street survey conducted among 717 women aged 17-35 in two
       inner-city Baltimore communities in 1991-1992 indicate that 17% of the
       entire sample, 38% of women using the pill and 11% of users of methods
       other than the pill used a condom in addition to another method the last
       time they had intercourse. Although adolescents reported the highest
       rate of combined condom and pill use (22% of 17-19-year-olds), condom
       use was significantly associated with pill use among adult women (odds
       ratio of 1.57) but not among adolescents (odds ratio of 1.03). Condom
       use was negatively associated with use of methods such as the diaphragm,
       the IUD, the implant and the sponge (odds ratio of 0.21) among both
       adolescents and adults. Logistic regression analyses show that positive
       attitudes toward safer sex, ever having refused sex without a condom and
       believing in condom efficacy all significantly predicted use of the
       condom with another method. Having ever been tested for HIV was
       negatively related to combined use, while behavioral risk factors showed
       no association.
