It's also a statistical shit show to show that condoms have any effect (against unwanted pregnancies, or sexually transmitted diseases), in studies using RCT settings:

Do you think this should make us conclude, that condoms may reduce STDs or unwanted pregnancies at max 5-20%?
- leereeves 5y agoThat paper isn't about the effectiveness of condoms; it's about "Interventions to increase effective condom use...condom design, access to condoms, condom use behaviours and condom-related legislation." In other words, it's a study about the effectiveness of policies, not the condoms themselves.
