“…16 Not surprising only 4 students in this study have been vaccinated against HPV, but one important observation was that almost 2-thirds were likely to be vaccinated against HPV. This finding was similar to the results observed in the US with values of 67.6% in a group aged 18 to 29, 41 and of 70% in 18-26 y old, 19 higher than the 41% of 16-18 y old college students in England 42 and the 46% in the already mentioned survey in the United Arab Emirates, 34 and lower than the 90.9% among nonhealth sciences students in Portugal. 43 One of the most common reasons for this positive attitude toward the vaccination was that it may reduce the risk of acquiring a HPV infection and this is in accordance with previous surveys 34,42,43 whereas among those who indicated that they do not willingness to get the vaccine, the most frequently mentioned concern was that they were not at risk for the HPV infection.…”

This study assessed knowledge and attitudes about Human papillomavirus (HPV) and the relative vaccination and their determinants in a sample of young males. The survey was conducted between January and April 2015 among a sample of 1000 males aged between 14-24 y in the geographic area of Naples and Caserta, Italy. The 54.9% of the participants reported of having heard about the HPV infection. Those who were aware about the availability of the vaccine, who reported the first vaginal sexual encounter before the 18 y and at least at 18 y compared to those who had not had a complete sexual intercourse, who had undergone a health checkup in the last year, and who had received information about the HPV vaccine by physicians had a significant higher knowledge about the HPV infection. The 58.2% reported that they would be willing to receive the HPV vaccine. Those younger, who reported the first vaginal sexual encounter at least at 18 y, who agreed that male should receive the vaccine, who knew that both males and females can acquire the infection, and who agreed that the vaccine is an important preventive intervention, expressed more positive attitude toward willingness to receive the vaccine. More information about the HPV vaccine were required by those who agreed that the vaccine is an important preventive intervention, who reported the first vaginal sexual encounter at least at 18 y, who have had only one partner in the last year compared to students who had no partner, and who had received information about the vaccine by physicians. This study highlights a need for improved education of young males of the HPV infection and the associated diseases and about the benefit of the vaccination.

“…Yet other studies have demonstrated the value of medical advice with respect to HPV vaccine acceptance. 19,21,22 The opinion of a trusted health care provider is particularly important with respect to preventive medical care. The dialogue between parent and health care provider probably has centered around action (getting the vaccine) and not the particular process (voluntary vs mandatory).…”

Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine factors that influence parent's acceptance of a mandatory school-based human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination program.Methods: A convenience sample of 325 parents, with children aged 9 to 17 years old, completed a 53-item survey. Survey questions targeted their opinions about HPV, the HPV vaccine, and a mandatory HPV vaccination program.2 tests were used to examine relationships between survey items. Results: Characteristics of parents who believed the HPV vaccine should be mandated included limited financial resources (P ‫؍‬ .03), history of HPV-related disease (P ‫؍‬ .04), understanding their child's susceptibility (P ‫؍‬ .03), interest in HPV vaccination for their child (P ‫؍‬ .0001), and knowledge that the vaccine reduces the risk of cervical cancer (P ‫؍‬ .001). Parents of children aged 12 to 14 years old (P ‫؍‬ .02) or who knew the vaccine reduced their child's risk of developing genital warts (P ‫؍‬ .02) and cervical cancer (P ‫؍‬ .001) would be more likely to comply with a mandatory HPV vaccine program.Conclusions Although the quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine has demonstrated robust efficacy and reasonable safety, suboptimal vaccination rates raise concern and questions.1-6 A survey conducted in 2007 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that approximately 25% of 13-to 17-year-old girls had received at least one dose of the HPV vaccine. 5 Moreover, far fewer 9-to 12-year-old and 18-to 26-year-old girls and women have initiated the vaccination series. The poor rate of HPV vaccine coverage for 9-to 12-year-old girls is particularly worrisome because this has been deemed the ideal age to vaccinate. 7 In comparison, coverage for school-entry vaccines during the 2007-2008 school year estimated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention varied between 94% (varicella) and 96% (hepatitis B).8 The differences in these vastly contrasting rates of vaccination are likely because of many factors, including cost, safety, knowledge, provider issues, access, and controversy.9 -11 However, one simple explanation is that school-entry vaccines are mandated and the HPV vaccine is not.Although discussion of mandating vaccines generates conflicting opinions, this approach has proven very beneficial from a public health perspective. School-mandated vaccination programs have increased coverage for other vaccines. [12][13][14][15] However, such an approach for the HPV vaccine has met some resistance by the medical community. 16 Further, only a minority of parents approve mandating the quadrivalent HPV vaccine. 17,18 Loss of parental autonomy, cost, insufficient data from clinical trials, and too This article was externally peer reviewed.

Purpose: This study was done to identify and compare factors associated with intention to receive Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine between male and female undergraduate students. Methods: In the fall of 2010, 479 students responded to self-administered questionnaires about their intention to receive HPV vaccine, HPV knowledges, HPV related involvements and optimistic bias, subject's characteristics including opinion about HPV vaccine. Mann-Whitney U test, uni-variate and multi-variate logistic regression were used for data analysis with SPSS/WIN. Results: Intention to receive vaccine were 22.0% of men and 25.0% of women. There were significantly different in HPV knowledge (Z=-2.74, p =.006), optimistic bias (Z=-4.60, p<.001), vaccine is necessary for women (Z=-4,30, p<.001), vaccine is necessary for men (Z=-4.37, p<.001), vaccine is necessary if only symptom exist (Z=-4.52, p<.001), but there were not different in intention to receive vaccine, involvement between men and women. Concern about vaccine safety (OR=3.19, 95% CI 1.63~6.23) was determinant of intention to receive HPV vaccine for men. Conclusion: This study showed gender differences in HPV knowledge, HPV related optimistic bias and opinion about HPV vaccine, which would be assessed and well managed in tailored HPV education for enhancing HPV vaccine acceptance.
