我们报告了与中美和南美拉美移民对人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)的认识有关的信息渠道。我们在2007年至2008年期间对1,334名拉美裔美国人≥进行了一项调查，调查对象为21年前到安全网诊所就诊的人。Logistic回归分析评估了与HPV知晓之间的关系。48%的人知道HPV感染，40%的人知道疫苗。西班牙电视台(38%)和供应商(23%)是主要的HPV信息来源。感染意识与互联网使用(OR 1.47；95%CI 1.10~1.96)和查找健康信息的自我效能(OR 1.19；95%CI 1.08~1.30)相关。疫苗意识与媒体使用健康信息(OR 1.27；95%可信区间1.09-1.49)和互联网使用(OR 1.59；95%可信区间1.18-2.13)相关。尽管西班牙电视台已经接触到了这一HPV意识较低的群体，但提供者可能会错过接受教育的机会。电视和互联网也可能是未来干预的有效渠道。
We report on information channels associated with awareness about human papillomavirus (HPV) among immigrant Central and South American Latinos. We conducted a survey of 1,334 Latino ≥ 21 years attending safety-net clinics in 2007–2008. Logistic regression analyses evaluated associations with HPV awareness. Forty-eight percent were aware of HPV infection and 40% were aware of the vaccine. Spanish television (38%) and providers (23%) were the primary HPV information sources. Infection awareness was associated with internet use (OR 1.47; 95% CI 1.10–1.96) and self-efficacy to find health information (OR 1.19; 95% CI 1.08–1.30). Vaccine awareness was associated with media use for health information (OR 1.27; 95% CI 1.09–1.49) and internet use (OR 1.59; 95% CI 1.18–2.13). Although Spanish television has reached this low HPV awareness group, there may be missed opportunities for education by providers. Television and the internet may also be effective channels for future interventions.
