The Perceived Value of Providing Safer Conception Counseling scale is a three-item measure designed to assess providers’ views of the value of providing safer conception counseling (SCC) to their HIV clients.
Geographies Tested: Uganda
Populations Included: Female, Male
Age Range: Adults
1.Providing guidance on safer conception to a female client is a waste of time as they won’t be able to get their man to agree to modify their sexual practices
2. Providing guidance on safer conception to a female client is a waste of time as their man will demand live sex
3. Clients who are counseled to have unprotected or “live” sex during a few days a month when the woman is most fertile will not want to resume using condoms afterward
Response Options:
4-point Likert scale
Strongly disagree – 1
Strongly agree – 4
All items are reverse-scored. Compute the mean item score. Higher scores represent greater perceived value of providing safer conception counseling to people living with HIV.
