“…Results from two surveys provided correlational associations between receiving information about HPV and HPV vaccination via social media and positive beliefs about the vaccine and desire to search for more information. 53,55 In focus groups with adolescents in North Carolina, they indicated that they would be generally interested in receiving information about HPV and the HPV vaccine via social media, as long as the messages were interesting and credible. 64 College students in Hawaii also indicated in focus groups that they felt that social media (i.e., Facebook) could be a good platform to share accurate and useful information about HPV and the HPV vaccine but that they would not feel comfortable sharing information with their friends until they felt more knowledgeable about the topics and could personalize the message themselves to make it relevant to their friends.…”

This article summarizes the findings from a systematic literature review to examine how social media may impact HPV vaccine uptake and HPV and HPV vaccine related awareness, knowledge, and attitudes. Study inclusion criteria was original data collection of at least one data point about social media and HPV and/or HPV vaccination, such that the study provided insight into how social media content may influence HPV and HPV vaccine related knowledge, attitudes, and/or behaviors. A total of 44 relevant articles were identified using the following databases: PubMed, PsycINFO, Communication Source, Sociological Abstracts, Business Source Elite, and the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC). Most studies analyzed the valence, type, and frequency of social media content about HPV vaccination, and some found associations between potential exposure to negative, anti-vacc`11qine content and lower vaccination rates. Some studies that included primary human subject data collection found that engagement with HPV related social media content was associated with improved awareness and knowledge but not with increased vaccine uptake. The literature overall is lacking in systematic and rigorous research examining the effects of social media on HPV related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors and needs further examination as social media increasingly becomes a source of health information.

“…Twitter is an important source of information regarding HPV and vaccine hesitancy, 32 48 49 and several studies have examined the representation of HPV vaccines on Twitter. 33 43 50–54 Though many of these studies analyse a limited number of HPV-related tweets, a few have used data mining and machine learning techniques to analyse a large number of tweets. 51 52 54 55 However, no research has conducted an international comparison to evaluate and compare how vaccination concerns are expressed across countries.…”

ObjectiveOpposition to human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is common on social media and has the potential to impact vaccine coverage. This study aims to conduct an international comparison of the proportions of tweets about HPV vaccines that express concerns, the types of concerns expressed and the social connections among users posting about HPV vaccines in Australia, Canada and the UK.DesignUsing a cross-sectional design, an international comparison of English language tweets about HPV vaccines and social connections among Twitter users posting about HPV vaccines between January 2014 and April 2016 was conducted. The Health Belief Model, one of the most widely used theories in health psychology, was used as the basis for coding the types of HPV vaccine concerns expressed on Twitter.SettingThe content of tweets and the social connections between users who posted tweets about HPV vaccines from Australia, Canada and the UK.Population16 789 Twitter users who posted 43 852 tweets about HPV vaccines.Main outcome measuresThe proportions of tweets expressing concern, the type of concern expressed and the proportions of local and international social connections between users.ResultsTweets expressing concerns about HPV vaccines made up 14.9% of tweets in Canada, 19.4% in Australia and 22.6% in the UK. The types of concerns expressed were similar across the three countries, with concerns related to ‘perceived barriers’ being the most common. Users expressing concerns about HPV vaccines in each of the three countries had a relatively high proportion of international followers also expressing concerns.ConclusionsThe proportions and types of HPV vaccine concerns expressed on Twitter were similar across the three countries. Twitter users who mostly expressed concerns about HPV vaccines were better connected to international users who shared their concerns compared with users who did not express concerns about HPV vaccines.

“…Nonetheless, additional interventions are needed to support and provide young people with HPV vaccine information. Innovative interventions supported by health-care professionals and tailored to meet young people’s information-seeking behaviors, such as online and social media should be explored (Britt, Hatten, & Chappuis, 2014). Increasing the perception of HPV vaccine as a preventive measure, much like wearing a seat belt or getting a flu shot, may be an important message to increase mandate support among parents and young people.…”

The purpose of this study was to describe college-aged females' human papillomavirus (HPV) knowledge and beliefs, perceptions and perceived benefits of the HPV vaccine, and identify characteristics associated with vaccination status and support for HPV vaccine mandates. Data were collected from 1,105 females by an Internet-delivered questionnaire during February to March 2011. This descriptive study utilizes χ tests and t-tests to compare participant responses. HPV-related knowledge scores were 8.08 out of 11 points. Those who initiated HPV vaccination were significantly younger, single, engaged in sex, were sexually active, and had a Pap test. Participants who had more friends receiving the vaccine were significantly more likely to support mandates for 9-11 and 12-17 years and were more likely to complete the HPV vaccination cycle. Findings suggest the importance of educational programs adopted and delivered by school nurses, which aim to improve student knowledge and reduce misconceptions related to the HPV vaccine and vaccination mandates.
