This study identified predictors of condom use and developed a model of condom use in a sample of men (n= 324) enrolled in drug treatment. Untilizing a series of logistic regression analyses reported condom use was predicted by possession of condoms, future intention to use, having a high-risk partner, low Condom Barriers Csale score, being inmarried and ethnic minority status. A probit path analysis revealed the following model of condom use among men in drug treatment: Taking condoms from clinic stocks was the best predictor of condom possession, which in turn was the best predictor of condom use. These study findings identity condom availability in treatment programs as an important risk reduction intervention. Treatment programs can apply these predictors of condom use to better identify individuals at risk for HIV and sexually transmitted infections to better target prevention interventions.
