Haiti (2008) : HIV/AIDS TRaC Study Evaluating Condom Use among Commercial Sex Workers. Second Round.

This study, which is the second study of a TRaC series among sex workers in Haiti on the use of condoms during sexual intercourse, has the following main objectives: a) To compare the 2006 and 2008 results, concerning the use of condoms and the factors that differentiated between those who use condoms and those who do not among sex workers; b) To show significant changes on key indicators over time between the two studies; c) To identify determinants of condom use with regular partners in 2008; d) To evaluate the impact of PSI interventions on behavior and opportunity, ability and motivation-related determinants of condom use among sex workers. As in the first round study, a Time/Location Sampling strategy was used. The same questionnaire that was used in the 2006 study was used after the inclusion of a few additional questions about exposure to PSI interventions. Through a mapping of the places where sex work is practiced, we estimated the number of sex workers per site in each town, and selected the number of sex workers to be interviewed per site. The data were entered and analyzed using SPSS.
