Empowering Active-Duty Service Members to Initiate the Human Papillomavirus Vaccine
Clin J Oncol Nurs. 2022 Apr 1;26(2):228-231. doi: 10.1188/22.CJON.228-231.ABSTRACTHuman papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection that can lead to cervical, anal, oropharyngeal, penile, vulvar, and vaginal cancers. Active-duty service members are disproportionately affected by HPV, yet this population has very low HPV vaccination rates. Increasing these rates has the potential to prevent HPV-associated cancers. This case study describes a brief and focused educational intervention designed to improve HPV vaccination rates among active-duty service members.PMID:35302545 | DOI:10.1188/22.CJON.228-231
