Background Men who have sex with men are a risk group for anal human papillomavirus (HPV) and anal cancer. Australia introduced a universal school-based HPV vaccination program in 2013. Self-reported HPV vaccination status has been widely used in clinical and research settings, but its accuracy is understudied. Objective We aimed to examine the accuracy of self-reported HPV vaccination status among gay and bisexual adolescent males. Methods We included 192 gay and bisexual males aged 16-20 years from the Human Papillomavirus in Young People Epidemiological Research 2 (HYPER2) study in Melbourne, Australia. All participants had been eligible for the universal school-based HPV vaccination program implemented in 2013 and were asked to self-report their HPV vaccination status. Written informed consent was obtained to verify their HPV vaccination status using records at the National HPV Vaccination Program Register and the Australian Immunisation Register. We calculated the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of self-reported HPV vaccination status. Results The median age of the 192 males was 19 (IQR 18-20) years. There were 128 males (67%) who had HPV vaccination records documented on either registry. Self-reported HPV vaccination had a sensitivity of 47.7% (95% CI 38.8%-56.7%; 61/128), a specificity of 85.9% (95% CI 75.0%-93.4%; 55/64), a positive predictive value of 87.1% (95% CI 77.0%-93.9%; 61/70), and a negative predictive value of 45.1% (95% CI 36.1%-54.3%; 55/122). Conclusions Self-reported HPV vaccination status among Australian gay and bisexual adolescent males underestimates actual vaccination and may be inaccurate for clinical and research purposes.

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.

Resultados: se organizaron grupos educativos con 1756 estudiantes, de los cuales 440 presentaron las tarjetas de vacunación para su análisis y 237 tenían el estado de la vacuna contra el VPH en mora. Se inmunizaron 161 estudiantes con la primera dosis y 73 con la segunda dosis de la vacuna contra el VPH. Conclusión: se observó que la experiencia brindó a los extensionistas la oportunidad de experimentar en la práctica los contenidos enseñados en la academia, además de contribuir al aumento de la cobertura de vacunación y, en consecuencia, a la reducción del número de casos de cáncer prevenidos por la inmunización contra el VPH.

The purpose of this study was to describe college-aged females’ human papillomavirus (HPV) knowledge and beliefs, perceptions and perceived benefits of the HPV vaccine, and identify characteristics associated with vaccination status and support for HPV vaccine mandates. Data were collected from 1,105 females by an Internet-delivered questionnaire during February to March 2011. This descriptive study utilizes χ2 tests and t-tests to compare participant responses. HPV-related knowledge scores were 8.08 out of 11 points. Those who initiated HPV vaccination were significantly younger, single, engaged in sex, were sexually active, and had a Pap test. Participants who had more friends receiving the vaccine were significantly more likely to support mandates for 9–11 and 12–17 years and were more likely to complete the HPV vaccination cycle. Findings suggest the importance of educational programs adopted and delivered by school nurses, which aim to improve student knowledge and reduce misconceptions related to the HPV vaccine and vaccination mandates.
