title: [Important obstacles in the buying of condoms].
abstract: This study identifies the most important barriers to buying condoms and their effect on the intention to buy condoms. A total of 99 high school students and 97 members of a physical fitness centre agreed to participate and completed a self-administered questionnaire. The most frequently reported barriers are embarrassment (26%), reluctance to be seen (21%), lack of money (16%), and problems of choosing from the available condoms (11%). One quarter of the subjects indicated they would not buy condoms when confronted with any one of these barriers.
