To assess correlates of human papillomavirus (HPV) awareness, knowledge, and attitudes among older, church-going African-American women.
Participants (N = 759), aged 40-80, answered survey questions about HPV awareness, knowledge, and attitudes toward vaccination of adolescent daughters. Associations between participant characteristics and HPV items were assessed using chi-square tests and logistic regression analyses.
Younger age, higher education, a family history of cancer, and less spirituality were each associated with HPV awareness individually, and when considered jointly in a single model (p values <.038). Higher education was related to HPV knowledge (p = .006).
African-American women of older age, less education, no family history of cancer, and/or higher spirituality might benefit from targeted church-based HPV educational campaigns.
评估年龄较大、常去教堂的非裔美国女性对人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)的知晓情况、知识掌握程度及态度。
759名年龄在40至80岁之间的参与者回答了有关HPV知晓情况、知识掌握程度以及对其青春期女儿接种疫苗态度的调查问题。使用卡方检验和逻辑回归分析评估参与者特征与HPV相关项目之间的关联。
年龄较小、教育程度较高、有癌症家族史以及宗教信仰程度较低,各自单独与HPV知晓情况相关,并且在单一模型中综合考虑时也是如此(p值<.038)。教育程度较高与HPV知识相关(p = .006)。
年龄较大、教育程度较低、无癌症家族史和/或宗教信仰程度较高的非裔美国女性可能会从有针对性的基于教堂的HPV教育活动中受益。
