摘要: Background: Women need to understand the link between human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer in order make appropriate, evidence-based choices among existing prevention strategies (Pap test, HPV DNA vaccine). Assessment of public's knowledge nationally representative samples is a high priority for control. Objectives: To assess factors associated with U.S. women's awareness about its cancer. Methods: Analyzed cross-sectional data from women ages 18 75 years old responding 2005 Health Information National Trends Survey ( n = 3,076). Results: Among 40% who had ever heard HPV, <50% knew it caused cancer; that was sexually transmitted abnormal Pap tests higher (64% 79%, respectively). Factors having included: younger age, being non–Hispanic White, educational attainment, exposure multiple health information sources, trusting information, regular tests, changes screening guidelines, tested positive HPV. Accurate HPV-cervical test results. Conclusions: Awareness low. Having did not ensure accurate knowledge. Strategies communicating transmission, prevention, detection as well risk treatment are needed. (Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2007;16(2):288–94)
