目的：本研究确定是否以及如何，人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）的识字率和诱发因素，使能因素和需求因素与明尼苏达州年轻人HPV疫苗的启动和完成相关。使用了170名年轻人的样本（18-26岁），我们使用逻辑回归模型来确定与HPV疫苗接种开始和完成相关的因素，包括HPV素养，调整相关的诱发因素，使，和需要factors.Results：与国家估计一致，我们发现HPV疫苗接种的启动率（46%）和完成率（36%）相对较低。更好的HPV知识与更高的启动率和完成率显著相关，女性和每年进行检查也是如此。已婚/有伴侣显着相关的HPV vaccination.Conclusions的赔率较低：公共卫生计划，政策制定者和医疗服务提供者可以使用这些结果，提高HPV疫苗接种率作出一致努力，通过个人和公众的教育活动，提高HPV疫苗接种知识，并通过改善获得年度检查。(C)2017年皇家公共卫生学会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
Objectives: This study identifies whether, and how, human papillomavirus (HPV) literacy and predisposing, enabling, and need factors are associated with HPV vaccine initiation and completion among young adults in Minnesota.Study design: Cross-sectional survey design.Methods: Using a sample of 170 young adults (aged 18-26 years), we used logistic regression models to identify factors associated with HPV vaccination initiation and completion, including HPV literacy, adjusting for relevant predisposing, enabling, and need factors.Results: Consistent with national estimates, we found relatively low rates of HPV vaccination initiation (46%) and completion (36%). Better HPV literacy was significantly associated with higher rates of both initiation and completion, as was being female and having an annual check-up. Being married/partnered was significantly associated with lower odds of HPV vaccination.Conclusions: Public health programs, policy-makers, and healthcare providers can use these results to increase HPV vaccination rates by making concerted efforts to improve HPV vaccination literacy through individual and public education campaigns and by improving access to annual check-ups.
