posttests assessed HPV knowledge and intention to get vaccinated. Chief endpoints are difference between preand-postintervention proportion intending to get vaccinated and rate of making vaccine appointments on exiting intervention.RESULTS: Forty-nine (84%) attended their assigned intervention. Postintervention increase in intention to vaccinate was statistically significant in Group 3 (3-11; P5.033), in Group 2+3 (6-17; P5.022), and for the entire population (9-21; P5.028), but was not significant in Groups 1, 2, or 1+2 (Fig. 1). Rates of making a vaccine appointment immediately postintervention were: 9% (1/11) for Group 1, 40% (6/15) for Group 2, 17% (4/23) for Group 3, 26% (10/38) for Group 2+3, and 22% (11/49) for the total (Fig. 2).
CONCLUSIONS:A 20-minute presentation by a gynecologic oncologist±interactive patient with cancer, increased college females' intent to vaccinate by 281% and yielded a 26% postintervention appointment rate. We will follow up with vaccination rates after 1 year.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
