Impact of patient education on influenza vaccine uptake among community-dwelling elderly: a randomized controlled trial
AbstractThis randomized controlled trial aimed to test the effectiveness of brief face-to-face patient education in increasing influenza vaccination rate among elderly in the community. Recruitment and intervention were conducted at two general outpatient clinics in Hong Kong. 529 eligible patients were randomly assigned to intervention or control group with 1:1 allocation ratio. Patients in the intervention group received 3-min one-on-one verbal education by medical students and a pamphlet regarding influenza vaccination. Neither verbal health education nor pamphlet was given to the control group. Intention-to-treat analy...

HPV and HPV Vaccination Knowledge and Attitudes Among Medical Students in Alabama
AbstractIn addition to being the most common sexually transmitted infection, the human papillomavirus (HPV) is associated with six types of cancer in men and women. The HPV vaccine provides long-lasting, effective protection from high-risk HPV infection, thus serving as a means of cancer prevention. An effective healthcare provider recommendation is well-established as the most significant influence on HPV vaccine uptake, and, as emerging providers, it is critical that medical students receive comprehensive training in this area. However, the type and extent of such training for current medical students in the USA is uncle...

Are Medical Students from Across the World Aware of Cervical Cancer, HPV Infection and Vaccination? A Cross-Sectional Comparative Study
This study aims to understand and compare the level of knowledge, the attitude and the awareness of cervical cancer, HPV infection and vaccination among medical students from across the globe. It was conducted by sharing a questionnaire on medical students ’ Facebook groups. We successfully analysed 736 responses, of which 74.3% were females and 25.7% males. Their mean age was 23.14. As regards to the respondents’ knowledge of the risk factors for cervical cancer, 28.8% of the participants identified HPV, 23.5% chose “Having many sexual partners ”, 15.4% identified “Starting the sexual life at a young age”, 14....

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.

Staggeringly Low Uptake Of HPV Vaccine Points To Failures In Patient Education, Vaccine Programs
Completion rates for the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine series across both genders continue to remain alarmingly low nearly seven years after its introduction, suggesting that better patient education and increased public vaccine financing programs are needed, according to new research from the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB). The researchers report "startling" trends in a series of three separate studies published in Cancer, Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics and Vaccine...

Gene cooption in Mycobacteria and search for virulence attributes: Comparative proteomic analyses of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium indicus pranii and other mycobacteria.
Abstract Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is a leading infectious disease taking one human life every 15s globally. Mycobacterium undergoes reductive evolution; the ancestors have bigger genome size and rich in metabolic pathways. Mycobacterium indicus pranii (MIP) is placed much above Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) in evolutionary scale and is a non-pathogenic, saprophytic mycobacterium. Our in silico comparative proteomic analyses of virulence factors of M.tb and their homologs in 12 different Mycobacterial species, including MIP, point toward gene cooption as an important mechanism in...

The development of vaccination perspectives among chiropractic, naturopathic and medical students: a case study of professional enculturation
Abstract An important influence on parents’ decisions about pediatric vaccination (children under 6 years of age) is the attitude of their health care providers, including complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) providers. Very limited qualitative research exists, however, on how attitudes towards vaccination develop among healthcare professionals in-training. We explored perspective development among three groups of students: medical, chiropractic, and naturopathic. We conducted focus group sessions with participants from each year of study at three different healthcare training programs in Ontario, C...

Knowledge, attitude & practice on human papillomavirus vaccination: A cross-sectional study among healthcare providers.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings reinforce continued medical education of healthcare providers, particularly those from the government sector on HPV vaccination for cervical cancer prevention. Public education is also pertinent for a successful HPV vaccination programme in the country. PMID: 28361828 [PubMed - in process]

An innovative medical school curriculum to address human papillomavirus vaccine hesitancy.
CONCLUSION: Our innovative curriculum improved medical student comfort level discussing HPV vaccination with hesitant parents and increased the perceived likelihood of recommending HPV vaccination. The intervention is easy to implement, scalable, and requires minimal resources. Educating future providers on this important topic has the potential to improve vaccination rates nationwide and thus should be considered for all medical students.

HPV Knowledge and Attitudes Among Medical and Professional Students at a Nevada University: A Focus on Oropharyngeal Cancer and Mandating the Vaccine
AbstractMedical professionals and students often feel as if they do not have enough understanding of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in order to recommend or obtain vaccination themselves. A 25-question online survey regarding knowledge and attitudes about the HPV vaccine was distributed among professional students, including all classes of medical students, at a Nevada university. First- and second-year medical students were administered the same survey 1  week after a new vaccine workshop. One third of respondents were aware of the link between HPV and oropharyngeal cancer, and 63% believed that the HPV vaccine s...
