1574 Background: Human papilloma virus (HPV) is associated with a number of malignancies. While national guidelines exist for the use of HPV vaccines in men and women up to the age of 26, data are lacking regarding public awareness of these vaccines. Methods: The National Health Interview Survey is conducted annually by the CDC, and is designed to be representative of the US population. Questions regarding the HPV vaccine were fielded in 2010, and formed the basis of this analysis. Results: 9120 men and 10946 women between the ages of 18 and 64 were surveyed. More women than men had heard about the HPV vaccine (68.1% vs. 34.0%, p<0.001), and young people (aged 18-26) were more likely to have heard about the vaccine than their older counterparts (54.3% vs. 50.5%, p=0.002). Factors associated with awareness of HPV vaccines amongst the younger cohort (eligible for the vaccine) are shown below. On multivariate analysis, race, insurance, and education were significant predictors of HPV vaccine awareness. Conclusions: While over half of young people aged 18-26 are aware of the HPV vaccine, racial/ethnic minorities, along with less educated and uninsured populations lag behind their majority counterparts in their awareness of the HPV vaccine. These data should be useful in directing public health educational programs. [Table: see text]
