Self-Efficacy Questionnaire

Abbreviation

SEF

Description

Self-Efficacy (SEF) for engaging in safer drug and sex behaviors is measured using a modified version of the Cooperative Agreement “RBA Behaviors and Beliefs Trailer” developed by Rhodes (1998). It assesses the degree to which individuals feel confident that they can perform safer drug and sex behaviors when faced with risky situations. As such, it evaluates the effectiveness of the C & E intervention in teaching protective measures.
