| Background | The Sexual Attitudes and Behavior of Latino Females scale was developed to explore potential predictors, which include homophobia, self-efficacy to use condoms, sexual comfort, sexual coercion, and traditional gender role beliefs. The data for the scale was gathered through questionnaires administered to unmarried Latino women and men via a random digit dial telephone survey. The study included 1500 Latinos across ten U.S. states, representing 90% of the Latino population in the continental U.S. |
