To determine college students' intentions to be Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccinated. The study was comprised of college students aged 18-45 years. A survey was developed based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The significance of the TPB constructs-attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control-and an additional construct-knowledge-in predicting intention were assessed. The regression model containing attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control accounted for 40% of the variance in intention. Attitude and subjective norms were significant predictors, while perceived behavioral control was not. Provider recommendation was the only significant covariate. Knowledge did not significantly contribute to the model. The TPB was useful in predicting HPV vaccination intentions. A focus on attitude, subjective norms and provider recommendation may be useful in creating new or enhancing existing interventions.
确定大学生接种人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗的意愿。该研究对象为年龄在18至45岁之间的大学生。基于计划行为理论（TPB）开展了一项调查。评估了TPB的构成要素——态度、主观规范和感知行为控制——以及另一个构成要素——知识——在预测意愿方面的重要性。包含态度、主观规范和感知行为控制的回归模型解释了意愿差异的40%。态度和主观规范是显著的预测因素，而感知行为控制不是。医生建议是唯一显著的协变量。知识对模型没有显著贡献。TPB在预测HPV疫苗接种意愿方面是有用的。关注态度、主观规范和医生建议可能有助于制定新的干预措施或加强现有的干预措施。
