The objectives of the study was to analyze the factors influencing the self-confidence of using condoms in male college students. The subjects were drawn from 12 colleges(n=466) and 10 junior colleges(n=480) in Seoul metropolitan city, Kyonggi province, Taegu city, kyongsangbuk province, Taejon city and Chungchongnam province during October, 2001. Among the 946 respondents, we collected 370 cases (mean age 23.2 years, range 18-30 years) of male college students who had experienced a sexual intercourse during last twelve months. Only 38 percent of subjects had used a condom for the sexual intercourse and 75 percent of sexual partner in male respondents were girl friends. Multiple regression analyses examined the relationship between the self-confidence of using condoms and selected variables. There were significant association between self-confidence of using condoms and age( p<0.05), experience of condom use during last twelve months(p<0.01). Having a favorable attitude toward condom was significantly associated with self-confidence of using condoms(p<0.01).
