| Abstract: | This study examined the impact of risk factors, self and peers’ beliefs, and parental communication on condom use among 290
female adolescents who attended family planning clinics. The major findings showed that in addition to risk factors, self
and peer beliefs about condom use and parental communication about birth control predicted actual condom use. Implications
for social workers about the importance of encouraging communication between adolescents and their parents are discussed. |
