“…The acceptability of HPV vaccination was relatively low among the medical undergraduates surveyed in this study. It was higher than among parents of young adolescents (<40.0%) (Chan et al, 2007;Zhang et al, 2013) , but relatively lower than among surveyed Chinese women (>80.0%) (Kwan et al, 2009;Li et al, 2009). The vast majority of students consented to HPV vaccination after 13 years and 38.0% of males and 50.7% of females suggested an age over 19 years.…”

“…Considering the distribution of different majors, we sampled 650 medical undergraduates from a sampling frame comprising all enrolled students (about 7%), 605 responded to our survey when approached before class (response rate: 93%). Data was collected from the respondents through a self-administered anonymous questionnaire adapted from the existing research literature (Pandey et al, 2012;Rashwan et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2013). It consisted of sections soliciting socio-demographic information such as age, gender, ethnicity, and grade; knowledge of HPV, cervical cancer and/or genital warts, and HPV vaccines; and perceptions of HPV vaccination.…”

“…The efficacy and safety of these vaccines has been validated in clinical trials (Schiller et al, 2012). Phase III clinical trials of both the quadrivalent and bivalent vaccines are still in progress in China (Zhang et al, 2013). A novel HPV vaccine against HPV16 and 18, developed by Xiamen Innovax Biotech (Xiamen, China), was recently tested in a phase III clinical trial (Wei et al, 2009).…”

“…Existing studies have shown that knowledge about HPV may strongly influence vaccination acceptance (Gerend et al, 2007;Gottvall et al, 2009). In China, there have been some studies examining this topic, both in Hong Kong Kwan et al, 2008;Kwan et al, 2009) and in mainland China Zhang et al, 2013). The study populations assessed in these studies have included women, adolescent girls, parents, government officials, and medical personnel.…”

Objectives: To evaluate medical students' knowledge of HPV and HPV related diseases and assess their attitudes towards HPV vaccination. Methods: A total of 605 medical undergraduates from Chongqing Medical University in China were surveyed using a structured and pretested questionnaire on HPV related knowledge. Results: Some 68.9% of the medical students were females, and mean age was 21.6 (±1.00) years. Only 10.6% correctly answered more than 11 out of 14 questions on HPV related knowledge, 71.8% being willing to receive/ advise on HPV vaccination. Female students (OR: 2.69; 95% CI: 1.53-4.72) and students desiring more HPV education (OR: 4.24; 95% CI: 1.67-10.8) were more willing to accept HPV vaccination. HPV vaccination acceptability was observed to show a positive association with HPV related knowledge. Conclusions: Our survey found low levels of HPV related knowledge and HPV vaccination acceptability among participating medical students. HPV education should be systematically incorporated into medical education to increase awareness of HPV vaccination.

Aims: The study targeted the HPV vaccine knowledge and perceived risk of cervical cancer among female college students in Taiwan as well as the relationship between knowledge of the HPV vaccine and perceived risk of cervical cancer. Materials and Method: The results of this study on female college students are described using descriptive and correlation designs. A convenience sampling approach was employed with a self-filling structured questionnaire. Results: A total of 150 students completed the questionnaire. Values were 7.49 for the mean HPV vaccine knowledge scale and 18.0 for their mean perceived risk of cervical cancer scale. HPV vaccine knowledge was positively correlated with perceived risk of cervical cancer. Conclusions: The findings of this study can serve as a reference for future HPV prevention in Taiwan.
