Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate knowledge of cervical cancer and HPV in adult men and their acceptance of vaccination for HPV. Methods: A convenience sample of 229 men between 19 and 39 years of age, responded to self-report questionnaires on knowledge of cervical cancer and HPV, vaccination intention, and general and sexual characteristics. Data were collected during September and October, 2010 and analyzed using t-test, ${\chi}2$-test, and ANOVA. Results: Mean scores for knowledge of cervical cancer and HPV were 4.88, and 7.87 respectively. Seventy-five percent stated they intended to be vaccinated. There were significant differences in knowledge of cervical cancer depending on education (F=3.04, $p$=.030), sexual frequency (F=4.62, $p$=.011), condom use (t=2.19, $p$=.029), and frequency of condom use (F=3.28, $p$=.040), and in knowledge of HPV depending on sexually activity (t=2.35, $p$=.020), condom use (t=0.03, $p$=.019), and frequency of condom use (F=4.65, $p$=.011). There were significant differences in vaccination intention depending on education (${\chi}2$=10.47, $p$=.015), but sexual characteristics were not significant for vaccination intentions. Conclusion: The results indicate a need to consider levels of education and knowledge of cervical cancer and HPV in target populations of men, when planning a cervical cancer prevention education program for men.
