Evaluate the efficacy of skills training designed to increase female condom use among women. A randomized trial of 409 women, recruited from family planning clinics in northern California, randomly assigned to the experimental 4-session female condom skills training intervention or the comparison 4-session women's general health promotion intervention. Participants received condom use instructions at baseline and male and female condoms during the study. They completed audio computer-assisted self-interviews at baseline, 3, and 6 months. At 3 and 6 months, women in the experimental group were more likely than those in the comparison group to have used the female condom at least once in the prior 3 months. The increase in the percentage of sex acts protected by female condoms from baseline to the 6-month follow-up was greater for the experimental group. The percentage of sex acts protected by any condom was higher in the experimental group at 6 months. There were no group differences in male condom use. Outcomes suggest that skills training can increase female condom use and protected sex acts without reducing male condom use among women.
