背景现在，人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）DNA检测正在纳入宫颈癌筛查计划，关于HPV的突出和准确的媒体信息将是至关重要的，以告知妇女的筛查选择和管理对HPV DNA检测结果的社会心理反应。作者对1995年1月至2002年7月期间10种发行量最大的报纸和3个主要电视网络的111篇关于HPV的新闻报道进行了内容分析。故事被评估的主要主题（性病，癌症，或新的测试）;有关症状的信息，传播，预防和HPV的致癌特性;筛查测试描述;和推荐的筛查指南。36%的故事主要是关于HPV宫颈癌的新检测，30%的故事集中在宫颈癌或其与HPV的联系，27%的故事强调性传播疾病（STD）或生殖器疣。79%的故事提到HPV是一种性病，50%的故事报告HPV非常常见。26%的故事报告说，大多数感染HPV的妇女不会患宫颈癌。在81篇提到HPV或宫颈癌筛查检测的报道中，38%报道了检测的敏感性; 30%提到了错误的、不确定的或不必要的检测结果; 25%提到了这些结果的后果。媒体对HPV的报道可以更好地满足妇女的教育需求，包括有关低风险和高风险HPV类型及其与宫颈癌的不同联系的信息;描述HPV预防，传播和症状;解释HPV检测的好处和后果;并在每个故事中概述最新的筛查指南。(C)2003年美国癌症协会。
BACKGROUND. Now that human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA testing is being incorporated into cervical cancer screening programs, salient and accurate media information about HPV will be crucial to inform women's screening choices and to manage psychosocial responses to HPV DNA test results.METHODS. The authors conducted a content analysis of 111 news stories about HPV from the 10 most circulated newspapers and from 3 major television networks for the period from January 1995 through July 2002. Stories were assessed for predominant theme (STD, cancer, or new tests); information about symptoms, transmission, prevention, and cancer-causing properties of HPV; screening test descriptions; and recommended screening guidelines.RESULTS. Thirty-six percent of stories primarily were about new tests for HPV cervical cancer, 30% of stories focused on cervical cancer or its link to HPV, and 27% of stories emphasized sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or genital warts. Seventy-nine percent of stories mentioned that HPV is an STD, and 50% of stories reported that HPV is very common. Twenty-six percent of stories reported that most women with HPV will not develop cervical carcinoma. Of 81 stories that mentioned a screening test for HPV or cervical carcinoma, 38% reported the sensitivity of the test; 30% mentioned wrong, uncertain, or unnecessary test results; and 25% mentioned consequences of such results.CONCLUSIONS. Media coverage of HPV could better fulfill women's educational needs by including information about low-risk and high-risk types of HPV and their differing links to cervical cancer; describing HPV prevention, transmission, and symptoms; explaining the benefits and consequences of HPV testing; and outlining the latest screening guidelines in every story.
