aCuNET: condom use negotiated experiences through the technology scale.
bA chi-square independence test was conducted to examine how CuNET items differed by gender; agreed percentages were calculated by creating a categorical variable using a cutoff of 5 and above, which indicated positive support. The total is the percentage of participants who provided positive attitudes toward using sexing for condom negotiation.
