VIETNAM (2010): Measuring Access and Performance of Number One Condom Social Marketing Program Round 1

There are five objectives for this study: (1) To explore the availability of condom by brands in outlets; (2) To determine price of all condoms on offer in outlets, including purchase price (paid by outlet to supply source) and selling price (charged by outlet to customers); (3) To determine the selling unit of condoms which outlets sell/provide to customers; (4) To identify sources of supply of all brands available in outlets; (5) To explore challenges that outlets face to sustain availability of condoms in their outlets. The study will take a random sample of outlets from across 7 supervision areas. Outlets to be sampled are as follows: Hotels/guesthouses, Massage parlors, karaoke bar,s Cafes, and Pharmacies. A simple audit sheet (Appendix 1) will be used to collect information in selected outlets. It takes about 15 minutes to complete the audit sheet. Each audit sheet includes two parts: audit sheet for outlet and audit sheet for each condom brands available in that outlet at the time of surveyors visit.
