“…As previously found by Krawczyk et al, in college males, low HPV and HPV vaccine ( actual ) knowledge was associated with low perceived knowledge [30] . In our opinion, assessing perceived HPV knowledge represents a simple and quick way (i.e., only two questions) of identifying college males that are in immediate need for HPV educational interventions.…”

“…In this study, some similar to others [30] of the analyzed psychosocial correlates were significantly associated with HPV vaccine acceptability in bivariate analysis but lost significance in the multivariate regression model, which may suggest a weaker association with HPV vaccine acceptability. Accordingly, increased HPV vaccine knowledge and perceiving the benefits of the HPV vaccine (i.e., in preventing HPV related cancers), were associated with higher vaccine acceptability.…”

“…A total HPV (range 0–16) and HPV vaccine knowledge score (range 0–7) was generated based on correct answers and “I don’t know” were coded as incorrect. Differences exist between what people know about the HPV (i.e., actual knowledge) and how much they feel they know (i.e., perceived knowledge) [30] . Perceived HPV knowledge was measured with 1 item, e.g., “Before today, how much would you say you knew about HPV?” and perceived HPV vaccine knowledge was measured with 1 item, e.g., “Before today, how much would you say you knew about HPV vaccine?” with response options 1 = “nothing at all”, “a little”, “a moderate amount”, and 4 = “a lot’.…”

BackgroundMost college males are not immunized against the human papillomavirus (HPV) and are at high risk of HPV infection. Most research of correlates of HPV vaccine acceptability in college males has assessed vaccine acceptability as a binary outcome, e.g., vaccinated or not vaccinated, without considering that some students may not even be aware that the HPV vaccine can be given to males. Our objective was to evaluate the psychosocial correlates of HPV acceptability in college males, based on multiple stages of HPV decision-making.MethodsWe used an online questionnaire to collect data from college men aged 18–26 enrolled at three Canadian universities between September 2013 and April 2014. Vaccine acceptability assessment was informed by the six-stage decision-making Precaution Adoption Process Model (PAPM). We sought information on socio-demographics, health behaviors, HPV vaccine benefits and barriers, worry, susceptibility, severity related to HPV infection and social norms. HPV and HPV vaccine knowledge was measured with validated scales. Psychosocial correlates of HPV vaccine acceptability were assessed with bivariate and multivariate multinomial logistic regression. Actual and perceived HPV and HPV vaccine knowledge scores were calculated.ResultsThe final sample size was 428. Most male college students were unaware that the HPV vaccine could be given to males, unengaged or undecided about getting the HPV vaccine. Significant correlates of higher HPV vaccine acceptability were: increased HPV knowledge, having discussed the HPV vaccine with a healthcare provider, and social norms. Being in an exclusive sexual relationship was significantly associated with lower HPV vaccine acceptability. Students' actual HPV and HPV vaccine knowledge was low and positively correlated to their perception about their HPV knowledge.ConclusionsWe provided a fine-tuned analysis of psychosocial correlates of HPV vaccine acceptability in college males who are in the early stages of HPV vaccine decision-making. Interventions are needed to increase HPV and HPV vaccine knowledge in college males.

“…In fact, a national survey in 2000 indicated that less than one third of the U.S. population had heard of HPV and only 2% identified HPV as an STI (Sandfort & Pleasant, ). Additionally, Krawczyk, Stephenson, Perez, Lau, and Rosberger () reported that many young adults have no knowledge of HPV, the consequences of the disease, or vaccine availability. Furthermore, barriers to HPV vaccination contribute to overall low vaccination rates, and include lack of HPV knowledge, cost, concern regarding safety of the vaccine, and no perceived HPV infection risk (Katz et al., ).…”

Attributes of health-promoting behaviors are presented and include empowerment, participation, community, and a positive concept of health. Antecedents, consequences, and empirical referents are also presented, as are model, borderline, and contrary cases to help clarify the concept. Recommendations for human papilloma virus health-promoting behaviors within the nursing practice are also provided.

“…Based on our previous HPV research (Krawczyk et al, 2015;Krawczyk et al, 2013;Krawczyk et al, 2012), consultation with an expert panel and a comprehensive literature search, we identified additional knowledge items that were not included in Waller's scale. These items reflected the most up-to-date emerging scientific evidence and were frequently being measured in the HPV psychosocial/epidemiological literature (Daley et al, 2009;Daley et al, 2010;Fisher, Personal communication;Gerend and Barley, 2009;Giede et al, 2010;Gutierrez et al, 2013;Katz et al, 2011).…”

As the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is now recommended for males, a reliable, comprehensive HPV knowledge measurement tool which addresses issues relevant to males is needed. We aimed to replicate, validate and test the comprehensiveness of an existing general HPV and an HPV vaccination knowledge scale in English and French. We also measured parental HPV knowledge and changes over time. An online questionnaire was administered in February (Time 1; T1) and November 2014 (Time 2; T2) to a nationally representative sample of Canadian parents of boys. Dimensionality, internal consistency and model fit were evaluated at both time points and separately in English and French sub-samples. Differences in knowledge scores were measured. Analyses were performed on 3117 participants at T1 and 1427 at T2. The 25-item HPV general knowledge and an 11-item HPV vaccination scale were unidimensional, showed high internal consistency (α>0.87, α>0.73) and had good model fit. Both general HPV and vaccine-specific knowledge significantly increased over time in both languages, but remained low at T2, with only about half of the items being answered correctly. Correct responses at T2 are best explained by correct responses at T1, with some small changes from 'Don't know' at T1 to correct at T2. The extended general and vaccine-specific knowledge scales are valid, reliable and comprehensive, and could be used among parents of boys, in both English and French. Educational interventions could target specific knowledge gaps and focus on providing information rather than correcting misconceptions.
