To explore awareness of human papillomavirus (HPV) and use of HPV vaccines (Gardasil and Cervarix) by college students.
The sample was composed of 817 undergraduates at 2 northeastern US universities; they participated between February and May 2010.
Students were provided with a link to an anonymous, self-administered, Web-based survey comprised of 76 questions. The survey included questions about health behaviors, awareness, and knowledge of HPV and the 2 HPV vaccines, and vaccine uptake.
Results indicate high levels of awareness of HPV as well as marked sex differences related to vaccine awareness and uptake. Both sexes are largely unaware of Cervarix and the differences between Cervarix and Gardasil.
The study affirms the importance of a clinician's recommendation for HPV vaccination. Public health messaging should become more inclusive of adolescent and young adult males. College students' awareness of HPV vaccine options mirrors Gardasil's market dominance in the United States.
探讨大学生对人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）的认知以及HPV疫苗（加德西和卉妍康）的使用情况。
样本由美国东北部2所大学的817名本科生组成；他们于2010年2月至5月参与研究。
为学生提供一个指向包含76个问题的匿名、自我管理的网络调查问卷的链接。该调查包括有关健康行为、对HPV及2种HPV疫苗的认知和了解，以及疫苗接种情况的问题。
结果表明对HPV的认知水平较高，且在疫苗认知和接种方面存在显著的性别差异。男女对卉妍康以及卉妍康和加德西之间的差异大多并不了解。
该研究证实了临床医生推荐HPV疫苗接种的重要性。公共卫生宣传应更多地纳入青少年和青年男性。大学生对HPV疫苗选择的认知反映了加德西在美国的市场主导地位。
