This study is the first to report the results of a scan of the official webpages of all public and private colleges and universities in the state of Oregon, including but not limited to student health services webpages and student handbooks, to identify available services, policies, and educational information on HPV vaccination. The purpose is to describe vaccination services (with a focus on the HPV vaccine), prevention efforts, and institutional policies on vaccination on college and university websites in Oregon. An online scan was conducted from September to November 2020 to collect and describe data from college/university websites across Oregon. Colleges/universities were obtained from the National Center for Education Statistics website. The final sample included 48 colleges/universities. Twenty colleges/universities have a health center with 11 providing the HPV vaccine on campus: most are large public universities and non-religious private colleges. A few religious private universities and one community college offer the vaccine on campus. More than half (n = 26) of Oregon colleges/universities had a webpage specifically designated for immunization information, but only 11 mentioned the HPV vaccine on their immunization webpage. Twelve colleges/universities recommend, and none require the vaccine. Information on HPV vaccination services and education was limited on college/university websites, especially on community college and religious private university websites. Most colleges/universities with a student health center recommend and offer the HPV vaccine on campus. College/university websites may be a low-cost and effective medium to increase HPV vaccination awareness, encourage immunizations, and prevent HPV-associated cancers.
这项研究首次报告了对俄勒冈州所有公立和私立学院和大学的官方网页进行扫描的结果，这些网页包括但不限于学生健康服务网页和学生手册，以确定有关 HPV 疫苗接种的可用服务、政策和教育信息。目的是描述俄勒冈州大学校园网站上的疫苗接种服务（重点是 HPV 疫苗）、预防措施以及机构疫苗接种政策。在线扫描于 2020 年 9 月至 11 月进行，以收集和描述俄勒冈州各大学网站的数据。学院/大学从国家教育统计中心网站获得。最终样本包括 48 所学院/大学。有 20 所学院/大学有一个健康中心，其中 11 所提供校园内的 HPV 疫苗：大多数是大型公立大学和非宗教私立学院。少数宗教私立大学和一所社区学院在校园内提供疫苗。超过一半（n=26）的俄勒冈学院/大学有一个专门用于免疫信息的网页，但只有 11 个在他们的免疫网页上提到了 HPV 疫苗。有 12 所学院/大学建议接种疫苗，但没有一所要求接种疫苗。大学校园网站上的 HPV 疫苗接种服务和教育信息有限，尤其是在社区学院和宗教私立大学校园网站上。大多数有学生健康中心的学院/大学建议并在校园内提供 HPV 疫苗。大学校园网站可能是提高 HPV 疫苗接种意识、鼓励免疫接种和预防 HPV 相关癌症的低成本有效媒介。
