Indiana University received a $423,500 stimulus grant to study the proper use of condoms, reports the Weekly Standard:
"Sexually transmitted infections (STI), including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), pose significant health risks," a synopsis of study reads. "Consistent and correct use of condoms can be a highly effective method of preventing the transmission of HIV and many STIs, yet studies show that problems with condom use are common. This project is one of the first to examine under controlled conditions the role of cognitive and affective factors and condom skills in explaining condom use problems in young, heterosexual adult men."
The study was completed but no results have been presented. Additionally, the project did not create or retain any jobs.
