To investigate the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine-related knowledge and factors associated with the knowledge among parents of young adolescents in China.
The study was based on data of a survey carried out in seven geographic regions of China. Parents of students in junior middle school were surveyed during parents' meetings.
A total of 2895 parents were included in the analyses. Of parents, 38.3% responded with "yes" to more than three of the six knowledge questions, among whom only 4.5% of them correctly answered all six questions. Social benefit programs (41.3%), doctors and/or nurses (39.7%), and newspapers and/or magazines (36.5%) were selected as the top three sources of HPV-related knowledge. Mothers, parents who work in the health care sector, and parents with a higher annual income or with vaccination experience outside the expanded program on immunization showed a better knowledge base. Parents who consented to sex education for children or showed fear of cervical cancer were likely to have more HPV-related knowledge. In particular, the knowledge level of parents with prior consultation regarding HPV vaccines was higher.
Parents of young adolescents in China possessed a low level of HPV vaccine-related knowledge. Findings highlight the need for tailored health education through different channels to improve HPV-related knowledge among parents.
调查中国青少年家长对人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗相关知识的了解情况，以及与知识相关的因素。
本研究基于在中国七个地理区域开展的一项调查数据。在家长会期间对初中生的家长进行了调查。
共纳入 2895 名家长进行分析。在回答对 6 个问题中的 3 个以上的家长中，只有 4.5%的人正确回答了所有 6 个问题。社会福利项目（41.3%）、医生和/或护士（39.7%）以及报纸和/或杂志（36.5%）是 HPV 相关知识的前三大来源。母亲、从事医疗保健工作的家长、年收入较高的家长或有免疫规划外接种经验的家长，其知识基础较好。同意对孩子进行性教育或对宫颈癌感到恐惧的家长更有可能具有更多的 HPV 相关知识。特别是，曾就 HPV 疫苗咨询过的家长的知识水平更高。
中国青少年家长对 HPV 疫苗相关知识的了解程度较低。研究结果强调需要通过不同渠道开展有针对性的健康教育，以提高家长对 HPV 相关知识的了解。
