Cervical human papillomavirus prevalence according to socioeconomic and demographic characteristics in a large Danish screening population
CONCLUSIONS: We found slightly higher hrHPV prevalences in women with basic education, low income and unemployment. The differences largely disappeared when taking into account marital status as a potential proxy for sexual behaviour. Our findings support a need for targeted information on safe sexual practices and promoting socioeconomic equality in HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening participation.PMID:37078420 | DOI:10.1177/14034948231168297

Exploring socio-demographic and geospatial variation in human papillomavirus vaccination uptake in Virginia
Vaccine. 2021 Aug 9:S0264-410X(21)00984-1. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2021.07.079. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSignificant variation in human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine coverage exists across the United States. A closer look at state and region-specific coverage is necessary to identify potentially modifiable disparities. Using ArcGIS software, we identify geospatial variation in HPV vaccine coverage in the state of Virginia and examine the relationship between various socio-demographic indicators and HPV vaccination uptake. HPV vaccination rates among adolescents 11 to 17 years as of 07/01/2018 were retrieved at the zip-c...
