Abstract
To examine the influence of specific demographic and socio-cognitive variables on reported condom use among out-of-school adolescents in Nigeria. A cross-sectional study on a community-based sample of 1698 sexually active out-of school adolescents in Oyo state, Nigeria. Data were collected using a non-validated questionnaire administered by an interviewer. Nine percent of the sexually-active adolescents reported condom use during sexual intercourse in the past year. Findings of logistic regression showed that adolescents with adequate self-efficacy were seven times more likely to use condom. A two-fold increase in condom use was found in adolescents who value parents' opinion on condom use. Results suggest self-efficacy and parents' influence affect condom use among Nigerian adolescents.
