Item type: Item , Contraception and Condom Use Among Bolivian Female Sex Workers: Relationship-Specific Associations Between Disease Prevention and Family Planning Behaviors(Taylor & Francis, 2013) Eileen A. Yam; Freddy Tinajeros; Rita Revollo; Kara Richmond; Deanna Kerrigan; Sandra G. GarcíaWe examined data from a clinic-based survey of 1,222 Bolivian female sex workers (FSWs) to assess whether use of nonbarrier modern contraception is associated with less consistent condom use with clients and noncommercial partners. Women who were using nonbarrier modern contraception were less likely than nonusers to consistently use condoms with noncommercial partners (AOR 0.393, 95% CI 0.203-0.759, p = .005). With clients, this inverse association did not hold. Public health professionals must consider both disease prevention and pregnancy prevention needs in this vulnerable population, and messages should be tailored to encourage dual method use with all partners.Item type: Item , Demonstrating Public Health at Work: A Demonstration Project of Congenital Syphilis Prevention Efforts in Bolivia(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006) Sandra G.
