Abstract
The purpose of the study is to examine the association between impulsivity, substance use, and condom use in men who have sex with men. Specifically, this study assessed whether self-reported substance use and impulsivity measures predict condom use in men who reportedly engage in sex with other men. This study, also explored the interrelations among impulsivity measures including behavioral and paper-and-pencil assessments and identified, the possible underlying dimensions of impulsivity tapped by these measures Results did not demonstrate a significant relationship between substance use and high risk sexual behavior. There was however a significant correlation between risky sexual behaviors and alcohol consumption. Limitations of the study and future directions for multiculturally competent health psychology research are explored.
