To examine gender differences in human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine stages of change following the recommendations for permissive use of HPV vaccine in males.
Students aged 18-26 attending a large, public, Midwest university in April 2010.
Participants completed a self-administered, online questionnaire. HPV vaccine stage of change was assessed according to core constructs of the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change. Logistic regression was used to identify associations of HPV-related beliefs and attitudes with stage of change.
Although most (80.5%) of the 4,019 participants had at least contemplated HPV vaccination, more females had taken observable steps towards vaccination. Significant differences between genders in HPV-related beliefs and attitudes were observed, particularly perceived parental or perceived health care provider approval of HPV vaccination.
University students generally agreed with the benefits of HPV vaccination, both for themselves and for society, and these attitudes were significantly associated with having at least contemplated vaccination.
在建议放宽男性 HPV 疫苗接种范围后,研究 HPV 疫苗接种阶段的性别差异。
2010 年 4 月,在一所大型公立中西部大学就读的 18-26 岁学生。
参与者完成了一份自我管理的在线问卷。HPV 疫苗接种阶段的变化是根据行为变化的跨理论模型的核心结构来评估的。逻辑回归用于确定 HPV 相关信念和态度与变化阶段的关联。
尽管大多数(80.5%)4019 名参与者至少考虑过 HPV 疫苗接种,但更多的女性已经采取了可观察到的疫苗接种措施。观察到性别之间在 HPV 相关信念和态度方面存在显著差异,特别是对父母或医疗保健提供者对 HPV 疫苗接种的认可。
大学生普遍同意 HPV 疫苗接种的好处,无论是对自己还是对社会,这些态度与至少考虑接种疫苗显著相关。
