虽然人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗接种是一种安全有效的预防相关癌症的方法，但青少年的接种率仍然很低。很少有研究探讨了社交媒体的使用如何导致父母和照顾者之间HPV相关知识的差距。Objectives调查社交媒体使用与HPV相关意识和知识之间的关联，重点关注有孩子的成年人的全国代表性样本中性别和种族/民族的差异。MethodsWe使用了来自健康信息全国趋势（HINTS）调查的数据（2017-2019年）（N = 2，720）。使用多变量logistic回归来研究社交媒体使用对HPV意识和知识成果的关联。结果与非用户相比，参与一个，两个，三个或四个社交媒体行为与更高的HPV意识相关（aOR：2.09; 95%CI：1.18-3.70，aOR：2.49; 95%CI：1.40-4.42，aOR：2.64; 95%CI：1.15-6.05，和aOR：2.44; 95%CI：1.11-5.36）。社交媒体使用的增加与HPV疫苗意识的增加有关。男性、非裔美国人、西班牙裔和亚裔美国人受访者不太可能知道HPV或HPV疫苗。社交媒体的使用与癌症knowledge.ConclusionsIncreased社交媒体的使用与家庭中有孩子的成年人对HPV和HPV疫苗的认识增加有关。可以利用基于社会媒体的努力来增加对HPV疫苗接种作为癌症预防的益处的了解，这可能是减少HPV疫苗犹豫和鼓励接种以降低弱势群体癌症发病率的前兆。
BackgroundThough human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is a safe and effective method of protecting against associated cancers, uptake rates remain low among adolescents. Few studies have examined how social media use contributes to HPV-related knowledge gaps among parents and caregivers.ObjectiveTo investigate the association between social media use and HPV-related awareness and knowledge with a focus on differences by gender and race/ethnicity among a nationally representative sample of adults with children in the household.MethodsWe used data from the Health Information National Trends (HINTS) Survey (2017-2019) (N = 2,720). Multivariate logistic regressions were used to examine the association of social media use on HPV awareness and knowledge outcomes.ResultsCompared to non-users, engaging in one, two, three, or four social media behaviors were associated with greater HPV awareness (aOR: 2.09; 95%CI: 1.18-3.70, aOR: 2.49; 95%CI: 1.40-4.42, aOR: 2.64; 95%CI: 1.15-6.05, and aOR: 2.44; 95%CI: 1.11-5.36, respectively). Increased social media use was associated with increased HPV vaccine awareness. Men, African American, Hispanic, and Asian American respondents were less likely to be aware of HPV or HPV vaccine. Social media use was not associated with cancer knowledge.ConclusionsIncreased social media use is associated with an increased awareness of HPV and HPV vaccine for adults with children in the household. Social media-based efforts can be utilized to increase knowledge of the benefits of HPV vaccination as cancer prevention, which may be a precursor to reducing HPV vaccine hesitancy and encouraging uptake to decrease cancer incidence rates among vulnerable populations.
