背景和目的：人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）是引起多种癌症的主要原因。目前的研究检查了HPV知识水平及其相关因素，特别是其与HPV疫苗意识的关系，跨种族/种族，包括非西班牙裔白色，非西班牙裔非洲裔美国人和西班牙裔。方法：横截面数据来自国家癌症研究所（NCI）健康信息国家趋势调查5的第1周期（2017年）和第2周期（2018年）（HINTS 5，总N = 3648），其在美国收集。在三个种族/民族组进行多元线性回归，以确定潜在的相关因素与HPV knowledge.Findings的水平：总体HPV知识水平的参与者是低的（平均值= 1.68; SD = 1.44;范围0-4）。在三个种族/民族群体中，非西班牙裔非洲裔美国人的HPV知识水平最低（平均值= 1.51）。不到30%的人正确回答了评估宫颈以外HPV相关（HPV a）癌症知识的三个项目中的每一个（例如，HPV是否会导致阴茎癌，肛门癌和/或口腔癌）。HPV疫苗的认识显着相关的HPV知识在所有三个种族/ethnic groups.Conclusions和影响：最低水平的HPV知识之间的非西班牙裔非洲裔美国人表明，HPV的教育是迫切需要为这一人群。具体的干预措施应强调有关宫颈癌以外的HPV a癌症的信息。此外，提高对HPV疫苗的认识将有助于提高普通人群对HPV的认识。最后，在实施HPV教育计划时，需要解决与不同种族/民族的HPV知识相关的各种因素。
Background and purpose: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is recognized as a leading cause of multiple types of cancer. The current study examined HPV knowledge level and its associated factors, especially its relationship with HPV vaccine awareness, across race/ethnicity, including non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic African American, and Hispanic.Methods: Cross-sectional data were merged from Cycles 1 (2017) and Cycle 2 (2018) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Health Information National Trends Survey 5 (HINTS5, total N = 3648), which was collected in the United States. A multiple linear regression was performed across the three race/ethnicity groups to determine potential associated factors with level of HPV knowledge.Findings: Overall HPV knowledge level among participants was low (Mean = 1.68; SD = 1.44; range 0-4). Among three racial/ethnic groups, non-Hispanic African American had the lowest level of HPV knowledge (Mean = 1.51). Less than 30% answered correctly to each of the three items assessing knowledge of HPV-associated (HPVa) cancers other than cervical (e.g. if HPV can cause penile, anal, and/or oral cancer). The HPV vaccine awareness was significantly associated with HPV knowledge across all three racial/ethnic groups.Conclusions and implications: The lowest level of HPV knowledge among non-Hispanic African American suggests that HPV education is urgently needed for this population. Specific interventions should emphasize information regarding HPVa cancers other than cervical cancer. Additionally, promoting awareness of the HPV vaccine will help to improve HPV knowledge among general population. Lastly, various factors associated with HPV knowledge across different racial/ethnic groups need to be addressed when implementing HPV education programs.
