Young people's attitudes to condom use in the UK: a rapid systematic review

This document represents the final peer-reviewed report for a rapid systematic review of qualitative evidence titled "Young people's attitudes towards condom use in the UK"

Review aim:

To identify factors that influence condom use amongst young people (aged 15-24) in the UK, and to identify where these factors are different for sub-groups within this population group.

Research questions:

1. What factors influence condom use among young people within the UK?
2. How do these factors vary for sub-groups of young people including sub-groups associated with health inequities, and sub-groups who face specific challenges in avoiding unplanned pregnancy and/or STIs?
