Team-Based Learning Module for Undergraduate Medical Education: a Module Focused on the Human Papilloma Virus to Increase Willingness to Vaccinate
AbstractHuman papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination rates lag behind other vaccines, primarily because of weak provider recommendations, and are associated with nearly 30,000 new cancer diagnoses a year. Educating medical students about HPV using active, team-centered learning may increase assimilation of information and may increase vaccination rates. A team-based learning (TBL) module focused on HPV for first-year medical students about HPV will better increase knowledge and likeliness to vaccinate than traditional education methods. Baseline HPV knowledge in medical students across Texas was assessed by surveying all 4-year...

Impact of medical education on knowledge and attitudes regarding the human papilloma virus and vaccination: Comparison before and 6 years after the introduction of the vaccines.
CONCLUSION: The facts that vaccination programs are regarded as being important, and that knowledge on HPV increased, do not automatically result in an increase in participation in HPV vaccination programs. To increase participation, information must be provided with arguments that cannot be misinterpreted.

Cuba Has Made At Least 3 Major Medical Innovations That We Need
By most measures, the United States' business-friendly environment has proven to be fertile for medical innovation. Compared to other countries, America has filed the most patents in the life sciences, is conducting most of the world's clinical trials and has published the most biomedical research. That's what makes the medical prominence of Cuba all the more surprising to those who view a free market as an essential driver of scientific discovery. Cuba is very poor, and yet the country has some of the healthiest, most long-lived residents in the world -- as well as a medical invention or two that could run circl...

Human papillomavirus vaccine trials and tribulations
As of December 2014, there were 3 approved vaccines for human papillomavirus (HPV): bivalent Cervarix (GlaxoSmithKline, New York, NY), quadrivalent Gardasil (Merck and Co, Kenilworth, NJ), and 9-valent Gardasil-9 (Merck and Co). The average cost per dose is $120, with a recommended 3-dose course. The quadrivalent vaccine is the most widely administered worldwide. As with the bivalent and 9-valent vaccines, the vaccine is considered safe, although concerns have been raised. In addition to immunization against the targeted HPV types, there is evidence that there is cross protection against other types of HPV.

Abstract A52: An evaluation of the "Con Amor Aprendemos" cervical cancer education intervention for Latino couples in El Salvador
This study highlights results of the adaptation and implementation of the "Con Amor Aprendemos" (CAA) education intervention in El Salvador, illustrating how the CAA program effectively increased participants' knowledge and modified behavior.Cervical cancer has the highest incidence and mortality rates of all cancers affecting Salvadoran women. The associated morbidity and mortality is disconcerting since the majority of cervical cancer cases could be prevented through an organized screening program and use of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. Educational interventions targeting community leaders, women, and their ma...

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Education and Knowledge Among Medical and Dental Trainees
The objectives of this study were to (1) assess medical and dental trainees’ baseline knowledge regarding HPV and HPV vaccine, (2) determine the willingness to recommend the HPV vaccine to patients, and (3) evaluate the i mpact of an online intervention on HPV-related knowledge. Medical and dental trainees from two large academic centers in the USA were asked to fill out an online pre-intervention questionnaire, followed by a 10-min HPV educational intervention based on the Center of Disease Control and Prevention (C DC) resources, and then a post-intervention questionnaire. There were 75 participants (67.4% females; med...

Recommendations for cervical cancer prevention and control in Ghana: public education and human papillomavirus vaccination.
Authors: Nartey Y, Hill P, Amo-Antwi K, Asmah R, Nyarko K, Yarney J, Damale N, Cox B
Abstract
Globally, cervical cancer is a major public health issue causing increasing morbidity and mortality especially in low- and middle-income countries where preventive and control measures are lacking. In Ghana, it is the most common cancer among women. Approaches to reduce the incidence and mortality of the disease in Ghana have had little success due to lack of accurate data on the disease among other factors, to inform policies on prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, the lack of clear commitme...

Effect of Education on Awareness, Knowledge, and Willingness to Be Vaccinated in Females of Western India
AbstractCervical Cancer is the second most leading cause of death among Indian women. Infection by human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the major causes of cervical cancer. Two prophylactic HPV vaccines approved and recommended for adolescents and young women in India. However, due to lack of appropriate knowledge, education, resources, and proper communication, these tools have little impact on disease burden. It is important to understand attitude, knowledge, and beliefs of females about HPV, cervical cancer, and HPV vaccine. Hence, the present study aimed to check awareness, educate females about cervical cancer and HPV...

HPV Knowledge Retention and Concurrent Increase in Vaccination Rates 1.5 Years After a Novel HPV Workshop in Medical School
This study demonstrates that knowledge and positive attitudes were maintained 1.5 years after participating in this HPV curriculum during students’ preclinical years of medical school. Additionally, an increase in HPV vaccination rates occurred at a student-led clinic, indicating a positive clinical impact on the curriculum.

The Evaluation of a Digital Health Intervention to Improve Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Recommendation Practices of Medical Students
AbstractWe investigated what is being taught about HPV in US medical schools and evaluated a digital health intervention for medical students to increase their intention to provide a high-quality HPV vaccine recommendation. An online survey was emailed to Academic Deans at the 124 accredited US Schools of Medicine and Osteopathic Medicine between February and April 2018. A digital educational module was emailed to medical students in June 2020. A single-subject longitudinal study design was employed. Pre- post-survey administration measured change in knowledge, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and...

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...

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...
