Analysis

The CBQ are designed to identify gaps or correspondences between attitudes and actual behaviors. They may include questions such as:
Use of Contraception: “Which contraceptive method do you usually use?”
Frequency of Use: “How often do you use contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse?”
Barriers to Use: “Have you encountered problems or barriers in accessing or using contraceptive methods?”
The responses to these questions can be compared with the attitudes reported in the original scale to determine the extent to which attitudes influence behaviors.

Objective

The aim of the CBQ is to understand how attitudes measured by scales such as the Contraceptive Attitude Scale are translated into actual behaviors. In this way, researchers can identify inconsistencies between attitudes and behaviors and propose interventions to strengthen alignment between them. This can help in the development of programs aimed at education and awareness regarding the use of contraception.

Calibration

Calibration of the CBQ is based on recording and analyzing participants’ responses. By comparing the responses with reported attitudes, researchers can determine the degree of correspondence or discrepancy. This comparison can lead to an understanding of why people may have positive attitudes toward contraception but not use it regularly.
