A Cross Sectional Study on Knowledge, Attitude and Practice related to Human Papillomavirus Vaccination for Cervical Cancer Prevention between Medical and Non-Medical Students in Hong Kong
Conclusions: Medical students
in Hong Kong, especially those in senior years, had more comprehensive knowledge and positive attitudes towards
HPV vaccination than non-medical students. Yet, there was no significant difference in the practice of HPV vaccination
between medical and non-medical students. In addition to medical education, other factors such as health beliefs, risk
perception and financial considerations, may have a role in determining HPV vaccination for cervical cancer prevention.
