“…Therefore, there is an urgent need for effective interventions to increase vaccination rates. School-based interventions and those developed with stakeholders (students, parents, and healthcare professionals) have been suggested (Balcezak et al, 2021;Grandahl & Nevéus, 2021). In the United States, HPV vaccine interventions comprising the use of materials such as posters and social media posts promoting HPV vaccination on a major university campus and provider recommendation for HPV vaccination to university health care students resulted in a 75% increase in vaccination (Gerend et al, 2020).…”

The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is one of the most effective public health measures for preventing HPV-related cancers and other diseases. However, vaccination coverage is not at the desired level, especially among men. In this context, we aimed to determine HPV vaccination rates, barriers, and some related demographic and personal factors among male university students in Turkey. We shared an online questionnaire prepared by the authors in line with the relevant literature on social media platforms and included 1723 male university students in this cross-sectional study. Only 4.9% of the students stated that they were vaccinated against HPV, and the most important obstacle to vaccination was not knowing when to be vaccinated (49.5%). Additionally, marital status, sexual orientation, chronic diseases, family history of cervical cancer, and having heard of HPV were significant predictors of HPV vaccination.

“…Specifically, SDoH are influenced by the availability of resources that improve quality of life and public health outcomes, including income, access to education, affordable housing and basic amenities, health services, public safety, and food security ( 18 ). Among young adults, SDoH barriers adversely influence HPV vaccine acceptance and ultimately lead to vaccine delay, hesitancy, and refusal ( 19 ). These barriers include lack of health-related knowledge, low health literacy regarding vaccine safety/efficacy/side-effects, disparities in health information-seeking behaviors, out-of-pocket vaccine cost, poor healthcare access, inadequate or absent health insurance, limited access to healthcare providers' recommendations, language barriers, sub-optimal digital literacy level, peer influence, and parental religious and moral viewpoints ( Table 1 and Figure 1 ).…”

Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes the most prevalent sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States. Sexually active young adults are susceptible to HPV, accounting for approximately 50% of new STIs. Oncogenic HPV subtypes 16 and 18 are associated with squamous intraepithelial lesions and cancers and are mostly preventable through prophylactic HPV vaccination. Accordingly, this study's objectives are to (1) summarize SDoH barriers and implication for low HPV vaccination rates among young adults (18–26 years), (2) propose a digital health solution that utilizes the PHL to collect, integrate, and manage personalized sexual and health information, and (3) describe the features of the PHL-based app. Through the application of novel techniques from artificial intelligence, specifically knowledge representation, semantic web, and natural language processing, this proposed PHL-based application will compile clinical, biomedical, and SDoH data from multi-dimensional sources. Therefore, this application will provide digital health interventions that are customized to individuals' specific needs and capacities. The PHL-based application could promote management and usage of personalized digital health information to facilitate precision health promotion thereby, informing health decision-making regarding HPV vaccinations, routine HPV/STI testing, cancer screenings, vaccine safety/efficacy/side effects, and safe sexual practices. In addition to detecting vaccine hesitancy, disparities and perceived barriers, this application could address participants' specific needs/challenges with navigating health literacy, technical skills, peer influence, education, language, cultural and spiritual beliefs. Precision health promotion focused on improving knowledge acquisition and information-seeking behaviors, promoting safe sexual practices, increasing HPV vaccinations, and facilitating cancer screenings could be effective in preventing HPV-associated cancers.

“…Previous research and practices on communication to encourage vaccination have primarily adopted cognitive-behavioral models and targeted cognitive beliefs, such as the perceived susceptibility and severity of infection [ 4 , 5 ]. Previous studies on HPV vaccination promotion also adopted behavioral models, such as the health belief model and theory of planned behavior, with a focus on cognitive beliefs, such as perceived susceptibility to infection, the seriousness of the disease, and vaccine effectiveness and safety [ 6 , 7 ]. Previous studies using these cognitive-behavioral models assumed that an individual’s decisions are logical and rational and that an individual’s cognitive beliefs about vaccination can be used to predict their vaccination status in the future [ 8 ].…”

Anticipated Affect That Encourages or Discourages Human Papillomavirus Vaccination: A Scoping Review

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

We reviewed studies that examined the anticipated affects associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination to identify gaps in the literature and the currently available practice implications for encouraging HPV vaccination. We systematically searched MEDLINE, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PsycINFO, PsycArticles, Academic Search Complete, Scopus, and Web of Science to find English articles that quantitatively and qualitatively examined anticipated affects associated with HPV vaccination. A total of twenty-one studies were identified. Seventeen studies examined the anticipated inaction regret (i.e., not being vaccinated). Most of the included studies reported that anticipated inaction regret had a significantly positive association with HPV vaccination outcomes, such as vaccination behavior, intention, willingness, and acceptability. Furthermore, seven studies reported that anticipated inaction regret had a significantly positive and stronger association with vaccination outcomes than cognitive beliefs, such as vaccine effectiveness and safety, and perceived susceptibility and severity. The present review indicated that the stronger the participants’ anticipated inaction regret, the more likely they were to receive the HPV vaccine. Messages targeting the anticipated affect may be as effective as or more effective than messages targeting cognitive beliefs in encouraging HPV vaccination among people. However, most of the studies included in the present review adopted a cross-sectional design with vaccination intention and willingness as outcomes. Therefore, future studies should examine the influence of anticipated affects on the utilization of HPV vaccines using experimental designs to accumulate stronger evidence.
