| The HIV Treatment Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale (HIV-ASES) | Twelve item questionnaire that categorizes responses on a continuum from one two ten. There are two factors - integration and perseverance. "The first factor (eigenvalue = 6.12) consisted of nine items measuring participants' integration of treatment into their daily lives (sample item: ''In the past month, how confident have you been that you can integrate treatment into your daily routine?''). The second factor (eigenvalue = 1.16) contained three items measuring participants' beliefs in their ability to remain perseverant in adhering to their treatment regimens in the face of HIV-related adversity (sample item: ''In the past month, how confident have you been that you can continue with your treatment even when you are feeling discouraged about your health?'')." | Johnson, M. O., Neilands, T. B., Dilworth, S. E., Morin, S. F., Remien, R. H., & Chesney, M. A. (2007).

| Literacy, self-efficacy, and HIV medication adherence | "Patients' self-efficacy to properly take and manage their HIV medications was measured using a 25-item scale included in the PMAQ. Items included statements related to perceived difficulties associated with adhering to HAART regimens, including pharmacy access, social stigma, employment, social support, attitude, provider communication, dietary restrictions, adverse medication reactions, recall, and regimen complexity. Patients were asked to respond to each statement by endorsing the item on a 3-point scale (agree, not sure, disagree)." | Wolf, M. S., Davis, T. C., Osborn, C. Y., Skripkauskas, S., Bennett, C.

| A Pictographic Medication Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale | The participants were given different scenarios and asked 'How confident are you that you could take your medications in that situation as directed?'. The participants "marked their level of confidence on a color visual analogue scale. Scores on the self-efficacy items were obtained by measuring the distance from left (Cannot do it at all) to right (Completely certain can do it) on each of the six visual analogue scales." The "pictographic scale may be useful in assessing medication adherence self-efficacy in lower literacy populations.' | Kalichman, S. C., Cain, D., Fuhrel, A., Eaton, L., Di Fonzo, K., & Ertl, T.

| Self-Efficacy for Medication Adherence | "A 40-item survey instrument to measure self-efficacy was developed for use in the study. Items for the instrument were obtained by adapting (a) the ''Adherence Confidence Scale'' developed by the Center for AIDS Prevention at the University of California, San Francisco and modifying (b) the ''Long-term Medication Behavior Self-efficacy Scale'' developed by De Geest et al. (De Geest S, Abraham I, Gemoets H, Evers G. Development of the long-term medication behaviour self-efficacy scale: qualitative study for item development. J Adv Nurs 1994;19:233-8.). Respondents were asked to rate their level of confidence for taking medications on schedule in a variety of situations by using a scale from 0 (i.e., cannot do at all) to 10 (certain can do)." | Smith, S.

| Treatment Adherence Self-Efficacy | "Treatment adherence self-efficacy was measured by asking participants, "How sure are you that you will be able to take most or all of your antiretroviral medication as directed?" and "How sure are you that you will be able to take most or all of your other medications for HIV, such as medications for treating or preventing opportunistic infections like pneumocystis pneumonia or cytomegalovirus, as directed?" Participants rated their responses to each question on a scale of 0 (not sure) to 10 (very sure), and the summation of these items served as the total treatment adherence self-efficacy score." | Barclay, T.

| Integration of motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy to improve HIV medication adherence and reduce substance use among HIV-positive men and women: Results of a pilot project | The scale contains 22-items. It is an adaptation from the Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale. The scale "assessed the level of confidence and temptation to miss HIV medications in certain situations. The scale has a five-point Likert scale (1 not at all tempted to 5 extremely tempted). Examples of items from the scale are: "I am tempted not to take my medication when I have been drinking or using drugs" and "I am confident to take my medication when I have been drinking or using drugs" and "I am tempted not to take my medication when I want to forget about being HIV positive" and "I am confident to take my medication when I want to forget about being HIV positive." | Parsons, J.

| The Global Condom Use Self-Efficacy Scale | The Global Condom Use Self-efficacy measure consisted of three general statements about the perceived ability to use condoms in the future with a new partner: "I think I would succeed in using a condom when I have sex with a new partner," "I would find it difficult to use a condom when having sex with a new partner," and "I am not sure I could use a condom when I have sex with a new partner." The Specific Global Condom Use Self-efficacy measure contains 37 items such as technical skills, purchasing, carrying condoms, communication skills, control over emotions and sexual arousal that measure specific self-efficacy to use condoms with new partner. Factor analyses revealed 6 subscales (Technical Skills, Image Confidence, Emotion Control, Purchase, Assertiveness, and Sexual Control). The scores on these scales were obtained by summing the scores on the relevant items. | Baele, J., Dusseldorp, E., & Maes, S. (2001).

| Condom Self-Efficacy Scale (CUSES) | Condom Use Self-Efficacy Scale (CUSES) is designed to measure a person's expectations of success in all the various aspects of obtaining, using, disposing of, and negotiating the use of condoms with a sexual partner. "28 specific self-efficacy items were created with a scale ranging from strongly agree to disagree. The 15 factors were 1) personal experience with condoms, 2) embarrassment at purchase, 3) alcohol use, 4) not wanting to offend with the implication of uncleanliness, 5) reduction in excitement, 6) loss of spontaneity, 7) breaking the mood, 8) not being prepared, 9) unsure of partner's feeling about condoms, 10) embarrassment, 11) communication with partner, 12) embarrassment about talking about condoms, 13) afraid of partner's refusal of condom use, 14) ability to maintain an erection, and 15) fear of reputation." The examples of the questions: "I feel confident in my ability to put a condom on myself or my partner," or "I feel confident that I would remember to use a condom even after I have been drinking." | Brafford, L. J., & Beck, K. H. (1991). Development and validation of a condom self-efficacy scale for college students. Journal of American College Health, 39(5), 219-225. |

| Predictors of AIDS-preventive behavioral intentions among adult heterosexuals at risk for HIV-infection: Extending current models and measures | Comparative versus Absolute Self-efficacy-measured to meet the principle of correspondence. Each subscale had three 5-point (very easy to very difficult) items that asked about the ease or difficulty of performing 3 behaviors-(use condoms with a new partner when you have intercourse; abstain from intercourse with a new partner when condom use is impossible and Insist on condom use with a new partner). For the comparative subscale -asked how much more difficult or less difficult each of the 3 behaviors was when compared with most other people. | Buunk, B. P., Bakker, A. B., Siero, F.

| Perceptions of the benefits and costs associated with condom use and unprotected sex among late adolescent college students | The 14-item scale contains two subscales, one of which assesses self-efficacy to practice safer sex in general, and another one assesses it in potentially tempting situations. Each participant was asked to rate their level of agreement with each statement, using a 5-point Likert scale (1=strongly disagree, to 5=strongly agree). "The seven items in the self-efficacy for practicing safer sex scale assessed participants' confidence in using condoms correctly, negotiating safer sex with sex partners, preventing HIV/STD infection, engaging in alternatives to sexual intercourse, and refusing unsafe sex. The seven items in the situational temptation scale assessed participants' confidence in their ability to practice safer sex in potentially tempting situations, such as under the influence of alcohol/drugs, when depressed, when in love with the partner, or when condoms are not available." | Parsons, J.
