Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Participation is voluntary and based on informed consent and potential participants have to be able to provide informed consent. Also, as the study and intervention will be conducted on a personal computer, participants need to feel competent in basic computer skills. Note that only minimal computer skills are required relating to the use of keyboard and mouse to enter responses and continue in the program. Furthermore, considering that the formation of Implementation Intentions is a method to promote acting on good intentions, the target population consists of individuals who intend to use condoms, but who have failed to act on that intention.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Clients who are younger than the legal age of consent or who can otherwise not provide informed consent are excluded from the study. Also excluded are individuals who are in a monogamous relationship for three months or more and individuals who do not intend to use condoms (more often).
