PSI Eastern Caribbean, Price as a Barrier to Condom Use: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Trinidad and Tobago and St. Vincent and the Grenadines (2007)
This report describes the results of an experiment aimed at determining whether and how a
condom price reduction in Trinidad and Tobago and St. Vincent and the Grenadines would affect
condom purchase and use and the overall condom market. In both countries, the vast majority of
condoms used are purchased at an average price of approximately US$0.39 per condom.1 The
experiment used here randomly offered a condom for purchase to young males at three different
price levels ($0.15, $0.20, and $0.25 per condom) at which condoms are generally not currently
available.
