Women comprise 64 percent of heterosexually acquired HIV infections reported in the United States (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2004). Microbicides, some currently in Phase III clinical trials, represent a departure from currently available prevention products: they are chemical barrier methods rather than a condom and thus may be able to be used covertly, or without the consent of the sexual partner. This dissertation identifies salient socio-cultural variables predicting microbicide use using the Holistic Acceptability Model (Woodsong & Koo, 2002) as a conceptual framework, and explores the potential of this model to predict microbicide use.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Women comprise 64 percent of heterosexually acquired HIV infections reported in the United States (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2004). Microbicides, some currently in Phase III clinical trials, represent a departure from currently available prevention products: they are chemical barrier methods rather than a condom and thus may be able to be used covertly, or without the consent of the sexual partner. This dissertation identifies salient socio-cultural variables predicting microbicide use using the Holistic Acceptability Model (Woodsong & Koo, 2002) as a conceptual framework, and explores the potential of this model to predict microbicide use.
520 $a A mixed-method design is utilized to uncover the social contexts in which microbicides are likely to be adopted. Research questions investigate the strength of the Holistic Acceptability Model to predict microbicide use and explore the usefulness and centrality of each component and variable nested within the model. The quantitative and qualitative data analyses suggest that the Holistic Model is a fair predictor of hypothetical microbicide use.{09}As expected, some of the components, particularly those measuring product attributes (such as color, odor, taste, smell as well as whether a product can be used covertly) and sexual encounter attributes (such as whether the product fits well with existing normative sexual behavior and does not disrupt sex act), are better stand-alone predictors of microbicide use than others.
520 $a The dissertation makes a number of recommendations to inform future research and public policy and public health strategies related to microbicide distribution. A multi-tiered policy approach is suggested for implementation by social scientists, microbicide product developers, microbicide advocates, and federal-level public health administrators. Information about the social contexts of product use can help federal-level administrators address individual-level safe sex decision-making through public health campaigns and product marketing. Finally, a revised Holistic Model for predicting microbicide use is suggested that includes greater detail about likely relationships between component variables.
520 $a The overarching study is the largest sample size, multi-method (qualitative and quantitative), multi-level (participants included local health policy makers, health care providers, and male and female health care recipients), longitudinal study on microbicides conducted to date.
