Uptake of the HPV vaccination programme in England: a cross-sectional survey of young women attending sexual health services
Conclusions We observed lower vaccination offer and completion rates and higher prevalence of HPV-related risk factors compared with national data. The highest risk individuals were the least likely to have been offered or to have completed the course. This survey highlights an opportunity for primary prevention by routinely offering the HPV vaccine to eligible women attending SHS.

Teal Pumpkins Help Make Halloween Food Allergy-Friendly
DRACUT (CBS) — One in thirteen kids has a potentially life-threatening food allergy, which can make Halloween downright frightening. But this year, there’s a way to tell which homes are safe for all kids: Teal pumpkins. Instead of carving, pumpkins, Joan Powers and her kids – 5-year-old Jack and 4-year-old Tessa of Dracut, are painting their pumpkins. Teal is the color of food allergy awareness, something the Powers family knows a lot about. Jack is allergic to synthetic food dye — anything that has a color with a number after it. Tessa is allergic to shellfish. There’s not much to worry about with a shel...

Awareness of Risk Factors for Breast, Lung and Cervical Cancer in a UK Student Population
The objective of this study is to identify levels of risk awareness for breast, lung and cervical cancer, in a UK student population. A sample of male (N = 62) and female (N = 58) university students, mean age 21.62 years completed a questionnaire identifying which risk factors they knew for each cancer. Analysis of variance was used to compare differences in risk awareness across gender and cancer types. Risk factor awareness was highest for lung cancer (0.78), mid-range for breast cancer (0.61) and lowest for cervical cancer (0.47). Women had greater risk factor awareness (0.67) than males (0.57) across all thre...

Abstract A57: Bug Your Doc: Get 3 shots! - A culturally appropriate social marketing intervention to increase HPV vaccination
HPV vaccination is recommended for all children ages 11-12, with catch up for females to age 26 and males to age 21, for prevention of HPV-associated cancers, which disproportionately affect African Americans. However, uptake of HPV vaccine has lagged far behind that of other adolescent vaccines recommended for the same ages (meningococcal and Tdap), and completion was lower among African Americans than whites until 2013. The purpose of this study was to pilot test a culturally-appropriate social marketing intervention targeting parents of African American pre-adolescents to increase initiation and completion of the 3-dose...

Clinician and Parent Perspectives on Educational Needs for Increasing Adolescent HPV Vaccination
AbstractHuman papillomavirus (HPV)-related morbidity and mortality remain a significant public health burden despite the availability of HPV vaccines for cancer prevention. We engaged clinicians and parents to identify barriers and opportunities related to adolescent HPV vaccination within a focused geographic region. This mixed-method study design used an interviewer-administered semi-structured interview with clinicians (n = 52) and a written self-administered survey with similar items completed by parents (n = 54). Items focused on experiences, opinions, and ideas about HPV vaccine utilization in the clinical settin...

Abstract A61: African American college women knowledge and attitudes toward human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer screening
CONCLUSIONS: Consistent with prior research, the current findings revealed gaps in HPV/cervical cancer knowledge and preventive behaviors. Individual analysis further revealed deficits in knowledge of HPV and cervical cancer, unsafe sexual practices, and fatalistic attitudes. Recommendations for developing reliable educational programs within colleges to better equip students with preventive and positive health strategies should be encouraged. Ultimately, identifying knowledge gaps within this at-risk population would highlight where interventions need to be directed.Citation Format: Terra L. Bowen-Reid, Deborah Olumuyiwa,...

A Multi-state Evaluation of Oral Health Students ’ Knowledge of Human Papillomavirus-Related Oropharyngeal Cancer and HPV Vaccination
This study included the participation of students from 15 dental programs (n = 380) with an overall response rate of 28%. Although the results cannot be generalized to the entire population of dental students in the USA, most students had inadequate overall HPV knowledge (65%), HPV-OPC knowledge (80%), and HPV vaccination knowledge (55%). While all student groups displa yed adequate general HPV knowledge levels (≥ 70% correct responses), gender, racial, religious, age, and regional differences were observed. Future dental professionals need to have adequate levels of HPV knowledge to aid in reducing the HPV-OPC bur...

Rural Caregivers ’ Willingness for Community Pharmacists to Administer the HPV Vaccine to Their Age-Eligible Children
AbstractHuman papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination uptake varies by geographic regions with rural, often medically underserved areas, lagging behind more urban regions in terms of vaccine initiation and completion. In these regions, pharmacies may serve as an additional location for HPV vaccine administration. Little is known about rural caregivers ’ willingness to have their HPV vaccine age-eligible children obtain this vaccine from their local pharmacist. First and second authors conducted 26 in-depth interviews with caregivers of HPV vaccine age-eligible children living in rural regions of a southwestern state to explore ...

An Assessment of Cancer Education Needs to Promote Mid-Adult HPV Vaccination Among Male Sexual Minorities
AbstractThe purpose of this study was to assess behavioral expectations and related psychosocial factors regarding an age-expanded human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine schedule among male sexual minorities (MSM). A measure of behavioral expectation (BE) ( “How likely are you to get the HPV vaccine if the CDC recommendation was changed to include men older than 26?”) was evaluated on an ethnoracially diverse sample (N = 318) of MSM. Sixty-seven percent wouldlikely initiate vaccination if the recommendations change. Benefits of HPV vaccination were widely endorsed. Barriers/harms of vaccination were endorsed less frequentl...
