“…This study demonstrated findings that are similar to other studies indicating that men have low levels of knowledge and awareness about HPV and the HPV vaccine [23–25]. These studies indicated that, overall, men have not heard of HPV, particularly men of minority ethnic groups.…”

Introduction Black and Hispanic men are diagnosed with more HPV-related cancers and at later stages compared to other racial/ethnic groups. Physician communication with men about HPV vaccination may be beneficial to increasing HPV vaccinations and decreasing HPV transmission. The purpose of this study was to examine HPV and HPV vaccine awareness among men by race, and the association between trust in cancer information from physicians and ever hearing about HPV and the HPV vaccine. Methods U.S. adult males (age 18+) were identified from the 2014 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) (n = 1203). Binomial logistic regression models assessed the influences of race/ethnicity and trust of cancer information from physicians on men having heard of HPV and the HPV vaccination. Results Approximately 50% of the sample had never heard of HPV and 53% had never heard of the vaccine. Black men were less likely to know that HPV is sexually transmitted compared to White and Hispanic men (p < 0.001). Hispanic and Black men were less likely to have heard about the HPV vaccine when compared to White men (p < 0.001). Additionally, Hispanic men were less likely to trust a doctor about cancer information compared to White and Black men (p < 0.001). Conclusion Findings highlight the lack of awareness about HPV among men. Furthermore, statistically significant racial/ethnic differences were found in HPV vaccine knowledge and trust in receiving cancer information from physicians. Future interventions should include community-based approaches and improved physicians' HPV-related communication to increase knowledge and uptake of the HPV vaccine.

Objectives To investigate the factors associated with HPV awareness among women aged 16 to 64 years, among underserved minority Hispanic women living in Puerto Rico. Methods A population-based, cross-sectional sample of 566 women, ages 16 to 64 years, living in the San Juan metropolitan area were surveyed regarding sexual behavior, HPV knowledge and HPV vaccine uptake. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression. Results Overall, 64.8% of the women in the sample had heard about the HPV vaccine. Among those in the recommended catch-up vaccination age range (16 – 26 years, n = 86), 4.7% had received at least 1 dose of the HPV vaccine. Of those aware of the availability of the HPV vaccine, most had learned about it through the media, whereas, only 39.6% had learned about it from a physician. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that HPV awareness (OR: 8.6; 95% CI: 5.0–14.8) and having had an abnormal Pap smear (OR: 2.0; 95% CI: 1.2–3.4) were associated with HPV vaccine awareness (p<0.05). Conclusion HPV vaccine awareness among Hispanic women in the San Juan metropolitan area of Puerto Rico continues to be low. Strong recommendations from physicians and participation in HPV vaccine educational efforts are essential if the rate of HPV vaccination is to increase in the targeted population. Compared to the US, and to their US Hispanic counterparts, a health disparity with regard to HPV vaccine awareness and coverage is evident in Puerto Rico; targeted action to deal with this disparity is urgently needed.

“…Providers in our study felt that patient education was critical; previous studies support this given the reported association between low HPV vaccine awareness and lack of vaccination (Williams et al 2013), and known gaps in HPV knowledge in the United States (Blake et al 2015). A prior qualitative study of providers’ perspectives on low HPV vaccine uptake in Appalachia also identified the need for HPV education to improve vaccination rates (Head, Vanderpool & Mills 2013).…”

Introduction The objective of this qualitative study was to assess healthcare providers’ acceptability of an ongoing postpartum human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination program in Southeast Texas and its integration into everyday clinical care. Methods In 2012, the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology at University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) began offering HPV vaccination as part of standard postpartum care to increase vaccination rates among young women in Galveston County. Initial vaccine doses were offered on the postpartum unit while subsequent doses were coordinated with postpartum and well-baby visits. Thirty months after project initiation, semi-structured interviews of physicians (n=12) and nurses (n=6) involved in postpartum and pediatric care at UTMB were conducted. Interview transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis in Nvivo10. Results Overall, providers demonstrated “pro-vaccine” attitudes and stated the program was an effective strategy for vaccinating hard-to-reach women. Cancer prevention was the main perceived benefit while follow-up compliance was the primary perceived patient barrier. The initial challenges with integrating postpartum HPV vaccination included miscommunication between providers regarding vaccine orders and coordination issues with well-baby visits for follow-up doses. One novel finding was providers’ beliefs that women’s personal HPV vaccine practices may positively impact their decisions about later vaccinating their children against HPV. Providers’ suggestions to improve the program included: enhancing postpartum HPV vaccine education for patients, offering more continuing education for providers, and increasing community awareness of HPV vaccination. Discussion These findings can help providers of postpartum care understand how to integrate postpartum HPV vaccination into their current practices and how to overcome perceived vaccination barriers.
