Understanding Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Hesitancy in Japan Using Social Media: Content Analysis

Understanding Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Hesitancy in Japan Using Social Media: Content Analysis

While proactive recommendations were reinstated in 2022, HPV vaccine uptake remains low [14-18]. To enhance HPV vaccination uptake in Japan, it is crucial to systematically analyze the trends of vaccine hesitancy. Existing literature reveals varying levels of hesitancy across different populations.

A Proposed mHealth Intervention to Address Patient Barriers to Colposcopy Attendance: Qualitative Interview Study of Clinic Staff and Patient Perspectives

A Proposed mHealth Intervention to Address Patient Barriers to Colposcopy Attendance: Qualitative Interview Study of Clinic Staff and Patient Perspectives

Over the last few decades, the incidence of invasive cervical cancer in the United States has decreased due to the high uptake of preventive screening and access to human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination [1-3]. However, there are large and persistent disparities in cervical cancer incidence [4,5] and mortality [6] among minoritized populations [7-11].

The Effect of Interventions Based on the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills Model on the Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Rate Among 11-13-Year-Old Girls in Central and Western China: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

The Effect of Interventions Based on the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills Model on the Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Rate Among 11-13-Year-Old Girls in Central and Western China: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Given the young age of the HPV vaccine target population, this study will focus on HPV vaccine hesitancy among the parents of girls aged 9-14 years. A recent study in mainland China reported that 53.9% of the guardians of secondary school girls aged 12-19 years were HPV vaccine hesitant, mainly because of a lack of knowledge of HPV vaccines and insufficient communication from reliable sources of information [19].

Electronic Health Interventions and Cervical Cancer Screening: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Electronic Health Interventions and Cervical Cancer Screening: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

The primary methods for cervical cancer screening include Papanicolaou smears, HPV DNA testing, cytological examinations, and colposcopy. The WHO advocates HPV DNA testing as the preferred initial screening approach, regardless of whether a triage strategy is used. Women who test positive in the HPV DNA test are recommended to undergo further evaluation through genotyping, colposcopy, visual inspection with acetic acid, or cytological examination [6].

Development of Promising Interventions to Improve Human Papillomavirus Vaccination in a School-Based Program in Quebec, Canada: Results From a Formative Evaluation Using a Mixed Methods Design

Development of Promising Interventions to Improve Human Papillomavirus Vaccination in a School-Based Program in Quebec, Canada: Results From a Formative Evaluation Using a Mixed Methods Design

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most commonly transmitted sexual infections [1]. There are over 200 types of HPV, some of which cause cancer (eg, cervical, oropharyngeal, and genital) or genital warts (ie, condylomas) [1]. Most of the oncogenic HPV types can be prevented by vaccination [1]. In Quebec, Canada, HPV vaccination has been offered as part of school-based vaccination programs to boys and girls in grade 4 since 2008.

The Role of Scientific Research in Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Discussions on Twitter: Social Network Analysis

The Role of Scientific Research in Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Discussions on Twitter: Social Network Analysis

Almost all cases are attributable to human papillomavirus (HPV), for which an effective vaccine exists [1]. Part of the global strategy to eliminate cervical cancer includes fully vaccinating 90% of girls with the HPV vaccine by the age of 15 years [2]. However, the global HPV immunization coverage currently remains suboptimal [3].

Projected Time for the Elimination of Cervical Cancer Under Various Intervention Scenarios: Age-Period-Cohort Macrosimulation Study

Projected Time for the Elimination of Cervical Cancer Under Various Intervention Scenarios: Age-Period-Cohort Macrosimulation Study

The incidence rate ratios of cytology-based screening, HPV-based screening, and HPV vaccination were based on the studies of Chen et al [30], Ronco et al [24], and Lei et al [5]. We assume that HPV vaccination administered to 13-year-old girls affords them lifetime effectiveness against cervical cancer [31]. HPV-based screening may have a higher false positive rate, so it is suggested that screening be performed once every 5-10 years [24].

Using Social Listening for Digital Public Health Surveillance of Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Misinformation Online: Exploratory Study

The breadth and depth of COVID-19 misinformation expanded to include all vaccinations, such as human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, depressing already suboptimal vaccination uptake in the United States [1,2]. As HPV vaccination is critical to the prevention of various cancers, this could pose significant cancer control challenges in the future [2]. There is an urgent need to address HPV vaccination misinformation to increase HPV vaccination uptake [2].

Consumption of Health-Related Videos and Human Papillomavirus Awareness: Cross-Sectional Analyses of a US National Survey and YouTube From the Urban-Rural Context

Consumption of Health-Related Videos and Human Papillomavirus Awareness: Cross-Sectional Analyses of a US National Survey and YouTube From the Urban-Rural Context

Awareness of HPV as a health topic was captured through HPV awareness (Have you ever heard of HPV?) and HPV vaccine awareness (Before today, have you ever heard of the cervical cancer vaccine or HPV shot?) questions with dichotomous response options (“yes” or “no”). The rurality variable was based on the Rural-Urban Commuting Area (RUCA) codes; areas with RUCA codes ≥4 were identified as rural.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Infections Among Participants Undergoing Chlamydia trachomatis Testing in Reunion Island (RUN-SurV-HPV Study): Protocol for a Prevalence Study

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the world. There are more than 100 types of HPV, with 13 classified as oncogenic. Of these, HPV types 16 and 18 are the cause of 70%-80% of invasive cervical cancers [1-3], which comprise the fourth most common cancer worldwide [4]. HPV infections also cause cancers of the vulva, vagina, penis, anal canal, and oropharynx; therefore, they affect both women and men.
