The high prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) among adolescent and young adult women and the causal association between certain types of HPV and cervical cancer make regular gynecological screening and Pap smear testing essential health practices for young women. In this study, we used the constructs of the Health Belief Model (HBM) to examine the gynecological screening beliefs and behaviors of a sample of 400 college women. Although the constructs of the model were able to explain only 15% of the variance in screening behavior and 11% of screening intentions, the use of the HBM framework resulted in important information regarding the participants' beliefs.
人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）在青春期及年轻成年女性中高度流行，且某些类型的HPV与宫颈癌之间存在因果关联，这使得定期妇科筛查和巴氏涂片检查成为年轻女性必不可少的健康行为。在本研究中，我们运用健康信念模型（HBM）的结构来考察400名大学女生样本的妇科筛查信念和行为。尽管该模型的结构仅能解释筛查行为中15%的方差及筛查意愿中11%的方差，但使用HBM框架得出了有关参与者信念的重要信息。
