接种人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗的主要目标群体是青少年，HPV是导致宫颈癌的性传播病毒。我们进行了一项基于人群的调查，以评估父母的同意和潜在的HPV疫苗接种在8所中学使用分层随机化，根据学校类型和种族。我们的研究结果表明，在社会和种族混合的人群中，如曼彻斯特，如果疫苗被认为是安全有效的，HPV疫苗的接种率可能达到80%。然而，大多数父母缺乏对HPV的了解，有些人担心HPV疫苗接种计划会引起性健康问题。重要的是要提高人们对HPV在宫颈癌中的作用的认识，而不使疫苗蒙羞。(c)2006爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
The main target group for vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV), the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer, will be young adolescents. We undertook a population-based survey to assess parental consent and potential HPV vaccine uptake in eight secondary schools using stratified randomisation according to school type and ethnicity. Our results suggest that in socially and ethnically mixed populations such as Manchester, an HPV vaccine uptake rate of 80% may be achievable if the vaccine is perceived to be safe and effective. However, most parents lack knowledge about HPV and some are concerned about sexual health issues that would arise as part of a HPV vaccine programme. It will be important to raise general awareness of the role of HPV in cervical cancer without stigmatizing the vaccine. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
