Background: Our objective was to assess adults' knowledge, risk behaviors, and preference for information about human papillomavirus (HPV).Methods: A cross-sectional study using a self-administered questionnaire given in 3 locations (a university health service and 2 community family practice offices); 289 people completed the questionnaire. The primary outcome measure was a knowledge score calculated from the responses on specific items in the questionnaire. This knowledge score was developed by other investigators and has acceptable psychometric properties.Results: Knowledge about HPV was low, with an average knowledge score of 5.50 (possible scores ranged from 0 to 14) and a mode of 0. Knowledge scores were significantly higher in women (P=.001) and married adults (P=.001). Knowledge scores were inversely related to age (P=.004) and positively correlated with years of education (P=.001) and self-assessment of knowledge (P
