了解青少年从哪里获得有关人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)疫苗的信息，可能有助于设计促进HPV疫苗接种的公共卫生干预措施。这项研究评估了以下内容：(1)接触有关HPV疫苗的特定信息来源，(2)这些信息来源的自我报告的帮助作用，以及(3)特定信息来源是否与青春期女孩对HPV疫苗的知识和认知有关。有339名青春期女孩(平均年龄=16.8岁)被招募到研究中。电视广告、互联网、医生/护士和母亲是最常被报道的疫苗信息来源；从这些来源获得信息的参与者中，超过90%的人报告说他们是有帮助的。从电视广告、互联网、临床医生和母亲那里获得HPV疫苗信息的青少年对HPV疫苗有更高的知识和更积极的看法。鉴于这些来源在影响青少年对HPV疫苗的知识和看法方面的重要性，确保来自这些来源的信息的准确性将是至关重要的。
Understanding where adolescents obtain information about human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines may be helpful in designing public health interventions promoting HPV vaccination. This study assessed the following: (1) exposure to specific sources of information about HPV vaccines, (2) self-reported helpfulness of these sources of information, and (3) whether the specific source of information was associated with knowledge and perceptions about HPV vaccines among adolescent girls. There were 339 adolescent girls (mean age = 16.8 years) recruited into the study. Television advertisements, the Internet, doctors/nurses, and mothers were the most frequently reported sources of vaccine information; more than 90% of participants who received information from these sources reported they were helpful. Adolescents who received information about HPV vaccines from television advertisements, the Internet, clinicians, and mothers had higher knowledge about HPV vaccines and more positive perceptions. Assuring the accuracy of messages from these sources will be essential, given their importance in influencing adolescents’ knowledge and perceptions about HPV vaccines.
