Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) adults bear a disproportionate burden of certain human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cancers. In 2015, data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) showed vaccination coverage among adults by racial and ethnic groups; however, coverage data for NHPI adults were unavailable. In this study, we estimated the initiation and completion of HPV vaccination and assessed the factors associated with vaccination among NHPI adults aged 18 to 26 years in the United States. We analyzed public data files from the 2014 NHPI NHIS (n = 1204). We specified sampling design parameters and fitted weighted logistic regression models to calculate the odds of HPV vaccine initiation. We developed a directed acyclic graph to identify a minimally sufficient set for adjustment and adjusted for insurance coverage (for education and ethnicity) and doctor visit (for insurance coverage, earnings, ethnicity, and sex). Overall, 24.9% and 11.5% of NHPI adults had initiated and completed the HPV vaccination series, respectively. Weighted logistic regression models elucidated that the odds of HPV vaccine initiation were higher for females (weighted odds ratio = 5.4; 95% confidence interval = 2.8-10.4) compared with males. Low vaccination coverage found among NHPI adults provides an opportunity for targeted programs to reduce the burden of HPV-associated cancers.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is one of the causes of cervical cancer which is preventable. The study was a cross-sectional study with the objective was to determine the Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination coverage among working women. A total 236 educated working women were selected purposively from different working places in Dhaka city. A pretested semi- structured questionnaire was used for data collection. The knowledge was assessed by using modified Blooms cut off points which was developed with cervical cancer and vaccine knowledge related questions. The study result revealed that among 236 working women 71.2% knew about the risk factor of cervical cancer. It was found that 92.8% knew about the way of prevention of cervical cancer respectively. The overall knowledge on cervical cancer and vaccine was found to be having good knowledge 21.2%, satisfactory knowledge 41.9% and poor knowledge 36.9%. Out of the total working women only 5.1% had HPV vaccination coverage. Reason behind non vaccinations, 50% mentioned had no knowledge about vaccine, 35.3% mentioned can’t decide and 8.9% mentioned high cost of vaccine. Significant association has been observed in between vaccination coverage with over all knowledge of cervical cancer (p value .04). It may be concluded that HPV vaccination coverage is very low which needs awareness program on this issues through mass media, educational session, counseling and so on to reduce human papillomavirus associated cancers as well as economic burden.

Objetivo: descrever a experiência da realização de atividades educativas, análise do estado vacinal e imunização contra o papilomavírus humano (HPV) em estudantes da rede municipal da região norte de Palmas - TO. Método: trata-se de um estudo descritivo, do tipo relato de experiência, desenvolvido a partir de ações do projeto de extensão universitária “Imuniza Escola” do Curso de Enfermagem da Universidade Federal do Tocantins em parceria com quatro escolas municipais e Centros de Saúde da Comunidade de Palmas – TO. Formaram-se grupos de educação em saúde alertando sobre a importância da vacinação contra o HPV e foram solicitados os cartões de vacina para análise e imunização. Resultados: organizaram-se grupos educativos com 1756 estudantes, sendo que, destes, 440 apresentaram os cartões de vacina para análise e 237 estavam com estado vacinal contra o HPV em atraso. Imunizaram-se 161 estudantes com a primeira dose e 73 com a segunda dose da vacina contra o HPV. Conclusão: observou-se que a experiência proporcionou, aos extensionistas, a oportunidade de vivenciar, na prática, os conteúdos ministrados na academia, além de contribuir para o aumento da cobertura vacinal e, consequentemente, a diminuição do número de casos de câncer evitados pela imunização contra o HPV.

Method: this is a descriptive study, of the experience report type, developed from actions of the university extension project “Immuniza Escola” of the Nursing Course of the Federal University of Tocantins in partnership with four municipal schools and Health Centers of the Palms Community-TO. Health education groups were formed warning about the importance of HPV vaccination and vaccination cards for analysis and immunization were requested. Results: educational groups were organized with 1756 students, of which 440 presented the vaccination cards for analysis and 237 were in delayed HPV vaccination status. 161 students with the first dose and 73 students with the second dose of the HPV vaccine were immunized. Conclusion: it was observed that the experience provided, to extensionists, the opportunity to experience, in practice, the contents taught in the academy, besides contributing to the increase of the vaccination coverage and, consequently, the decrease of the number of cancer cases avoided by the HPV immunization.
