“…In a study in Midwestern, 60% of students reported having initiated the HPV vaccine series (Rohde et al, 2018). Similarly, in a study of South Carolina college students, 69.5% of participants surveyed reported being vaccinated against HPV (Barrera et al, 2019). The vaccine series completion rate of the current sample, at 28.8%, is also comparable to other college studies indicating a completion rate of approximately 29% (Rohde et al, 2018) and19.9% (DʼErrico et al, 2020).…”

“…Recent studies have found that HPV vaccination rates among college students are similar to rates reported by NIS-Teen for 13-17 years old. In a study performed at South Carolina college, 69.5% of students surveyed reported receiving the HPV vaccine, and 16.4% reported not having been vaccinated; notably, 13.7% were uncertain of their HPV vaccination status (Barrera et al, 2019). Another study at a small Midwestern university found that while 60% of participating students had initiated the HPV vaccine series, 51% of those students had not completed the series (Rohde et al, 2018).…”

Background: The purpose of this study was to examine factors related to HPV vaccination initiation and completion, especially the role of health knowledge, among college students in a southern state. Methods: College students ages 17-45 (n=1,708) were analyzed in this study. Primary outcomes were HPV vaccine series initiation and completion; binary logistic regressions were performed to identify associated factors. Results: Among total participants, students who were aware that HPV could be transmitted even without symptoms were less likely to initiate HPV vaccination. However, among students who have initiated the vaccine series, those who were aware that HPV could be transmitted without symptoms and that men should receive the HPV vaccine were more likely to complete the vaccine series. Other significant variables included age, gender, race, and international student status. Conclusion: Future studies are needed to investigate students’ concerns regarding initiating HPV vaccination and how to effectively motivate students to initiate and complete the HPV vaccine series.

“…When applied to HPV vaccination, this theory describes that, when provided with a cue to action to vaccinate, individuals will seek the vaccine if they believe they are susceptible to acquiring HPV, that HPV infection could lead to severe health consequences, and benefits to vaccinating outweigh barriers. Past research has described college students' low perceived need for the vaccine and lack of awareness that they need the vaccine [20], barriers that health communication campaigns can help overcome.…”

College Students’ Digital Media Preferences for future HPV Vaccine Campaigns

In the USA, although college-aged populations are at the greatest risk for initial infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), they are one of the age-based populations with lower HPV vaccine rates, largely due to their lack of perceived need to vaccinate against HPV. Health communication campaigns can help address this perception. This research identifies college students’ preferred digital media channels for future HPV vaccine communication campaigns. We conducted qualitative small group interviews with 28 students from one large southwestern university. We used an inductive approach to hand-code interview transcripts, develop a coding structure, and analyze themes that emerged from the data. More than half of the study participants had never heard of the HPV vaccine before participating in a small group interview. When asked how they prefer to receive information about the vaccine, students more often recommended creating educational videos featuring healthcare providers and other college students and sharing them on YouTube. Some students recommended creating and posting health information memes and infographics to Instagram to disseminate the most critical information students need to make an informed decision to receive the vaccine. Given the prominent role of social media and the popularity of video-sharing and image-sharing sites, health educators and communicators should utilize these technologies to promote the HPV vaccine, a cancer prevention resource.

“…The coverage with ≥1 dose of HPV vaccine, and the percentage of adolescents who were up to date with the HPV vaccination series increased in 2019 and both measures improved among females and males [7][8][9], but there was no significant increase in either of those measures when analyzing the male only subgroup in Netherland [10]. In countries with high HPV vaccine coverage, there is a large reduction of genital warts in nonvaccinated males [11][12][13], that was predicted also in mathematical models.…”

Impact of a Gender-Neutral HPV Vaccination Program in Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM)

A major challenge in human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine programs is the universal gender-neutral recommendation, as well as estimation of its long-term effect. The objective of this study is to predict the added benefit of male vaccination, especially in men who have sex with men (MSM), and to analyze the impact of the program on society. We propose a mathematical model of the HPV infection based on a network paradigm. Data from Spain allowed constructing the sexual network. HPV force of infection was taken from literature. Different scenarios using variable vaccine coverage in both males and females were studied. Strong herd immunity is shown in the heterosexual population, with an important decrease of HPV 6/11 infections both in men and in unvaccinated women with an only-women vaccination at 14 years of age. No impact of this program occurred in the infection incidence in MSM. This group would only benefit from a vaccination program that includes males. However, the impact at short term would be lower than in heterosexual men. The protection of MSM can only be achieved by direct vaccination of males. This may have important consequences for public health.
