How is the Effectiveness of Condom Distribution Programs Measured?
The effectiveness of these programs is measured using various epidemiological methods: - Prevalence and Incidence Rates: Changes in the rates of STIs and unintended pregnancies are monitored before and after program implementation. - Behavioral Surveys: Surveys can assess changes in condom use and sexual behaviors among the target population. - Cost-Benefit Analysis: Evaluating the economic impact of the program by comparing healthcare costs saved versus the cost of program implementation.
