Abstract C90: Examining racial and ethnic disparities in HPV awareness and the association of trust in cancer information from physicians among males
Conclusion: In general, men are not receiving the information about the HPV or how it is transmitted. Furthermore, racial/ethnic differences were found in being informed about the HPV vaccine and trust in receiving cancer information from physicians. Findings suggest that men's lack of knowledge about HPV and the lack of trust of cancer information from physicians may be linked to a lack of HPV vaccinations. Future health communications efforts should explore community-based and culturally sensitive methods to disseminate HPV information to men.Note: This abstract was not presented at the conference.Citation Format: Dexter...

Abstract C53: Human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer: Exploring knowledge, attitudes, and cultural taboos among Mexican American families along the Texas-Mexico border
Conclusions: Results uncovered important differences in knowledge and risk beliefs concerning HPV and cervical cancer among Hispanic parents and young women living along the Texas Mexico border. Our findings highlight critical knowledge areas that can be addressed through interventions to overcome barriers to HPV prevention in Hispanic women, as well as to create culturally appropriate prevention messages that may ultimately help reduce disparities in HPV and cervical cancer among Hispanic women along the Texas-Mexico border.Citation Format: Daisy Y.

Abstract PR2: Examining perceptions about the HPV vaccine by sociodemographic characteristics and factors associated with perceptions: Findings from the 2012 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS)
Conclusions: Uncertainty about HPV vaccine effectiveness remains high and may be a factor contributing to low uptake and disparities in vaccination. Findings suggest HPV communication and messages need refinement to clearly highlight vaccine efficacy, and targeted strategies may be needed to reach non-Hispanic Blacks and individuals with lower levels of education.This abstract is also presented as Poster A7.Citation Format: Kassandra I.

Cervical Cancer and HPV: Knowledge, Attitudes, Beliefs, and Behaviors among Women Living in Guatemala.
This study was conducted to explore knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about cervical cancer, cervical cancer screening, human papillomavirus (HPV), and acceptance of the HPV vaccine. A purposive sample of 40 women was interviewed during August 2012. Fisher's exact test was used to evaluate differences among rural and urban women, and open-ended questions were coded independently by two individuals (Cohen's kappa coefficient of 0.816). Among the 22 rural and 18 urban women, there was limited knowledge about cervical cancer, screening, HPV, and the HPV vaccine. Cervical cancer was described in language related to gender, sci...

Abstract B58: Assessing university students' sexual risk behavior, knowledge of the human papillomavirus, (HPV), HPV vaccine, and association between HPV and head and neck cancer
Conclusions: Sexual risk-taking behavior associated with HPV infection is high among university students, while knowledge of the association between HPV and head and neck cancer is low. These findings provide impetus for developing specifically targeted interventions that serve to increase head and neck cancer knowledge, improve HPV vaccine education and uptake, and mitigate sexual risk-taking behaviors among college-aged students.Citation Format: Nosayaba Osazuwa-Peters, Kara M.

Abstract A93: Human papillomavirus vaccine recommendations and beliefs among primary care providers in federally qualified health centers
Conclusion: A high percentage of cervical cancer screening providers are also vaccinating girls and young women in FQHCs, and some practices are not consistent with national guidelines and may result in less eligible females receiving the vaccine. Understanding how the HPV vaccine is used by screening providers in FQHCs is of increasing public health significance as FQHCs receive funding to expand evidence-based clinical services. Guideline-consistent recommendations of the HPV vaccine for cervical cancer prevention in medically underserved and high-risk communities may reduce unnecessary clinical intervention and improve ...

Beliefs and knowledge related to human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine among African Americans and African immigrants young adults
ConclusionBarriers to vaccine uptake, limited HPV knowledge, and lack of vaccine recommendation are important factors contributing to low vaccine uptake among Black young adults.

Barriers and Facilitators to HPV Vaccination: Perspectives from Malawian Women.
Abstract The aim of this research was to elucidate potential barriers and facilitators to human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in Malawi, a sub-Saharan country. In Malawi, approximately 31 out of every 100,000 women develop cervical cancer annually, and 80% of those affected die from this malignancy. HPV vaccination may provide a feasible strategy for cervical cancer prevention in Malawi. However, important questions and concerns regarding cervical cancer and HPV vaccination acceptance among individuals and their communities must be considered prior to vaccine delivery. Qualitative interviews were conducted with...

Abstract A61: African American college women knowledge and attitudes toward human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer screening
CONCLUSIONS: Consistent with prior research, the current findings revealed gaps in HPV/cervical cancer knowledge and preventive behaviors. Individual analysis further revealed deficits in knowledge of HPV and cervical cancer, unsafe sexual practices, and fatalistic attitudes. Recommendations for developing reliable educational programs within colleges to better equip students with preventive and positive health strategies should be encouraged. Ultimately, identifying knowledge gaps within this at-risk population would highlight where interventions need to be directed.Citation Format: Terra L. Bowen-Reid, Deborah Olumuyiwa,...

Assessment of knowledge about cervical cancer and its prevention among female students aged 17–26 years
Conclusions: General awareness of cervical cancer among young women in Poland is insufficient. HPV infection is not considered to be the major aetiological factor. A relatively high percentage of women in this study had never heard of the HPV vaccine as a way of preventing cervical cancer. Knowledge about cytological screening, however, appears to be much better.
