 AB    The present study examined the beliefs and attitudes which surround
       condoms and their use. Qualitative data in the form of short essays were
       collected from 12/13 (n = 148) and 16/17 (n = 63) year olds. The results
       suggest that condoms are conceptualized in terms of a complex set of
       factual and evaluative factors such as feelings, responsibility and risk
       and that younger subjects hold more positive beliefs than the older
       subjects. The results are discussed in terms of models of preventive
       behaviour and the role of sex education at an early age.
