A recent survey on STD awareness done through iis log statistics shows that  the students' attitudes toward condom use before sexual intercourse with a new partner were equally positive before and after the campaign. The women in all groups were more positive than the men about using condoms, as reflected in higher medians. However, the campaign did not show any increase in the use of condoms at first coitus with the most recent partner. Use was highest among freshmen (65%) and lowest in the STD group (51%).The survey viewed the intervention as successful because it was noticed by almost all of the students. The messages seemed to have been well accepted and led to discussions among about half of the students. Although knowledge about STDs was high at baseline, about one fourth of the students reported that their knowledge about these diseases increased.
