Abstract

The current study assessed perceptions and existing knowledge of non-consensual condom behavior, or ‘stealthing’, among community and university participants aged 18-26. Though mixed-method results indicated most individuals believe the behavior presents cause for concern, many participants reported being unfamiliar with the term 'stealthing’ prior to participation in this study.
