Abstract

We explored the impact of two community-based educational interventions on Nigerian adults' knowledge and intention to take or encourage human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine and cervical screenings. Face-to-face presentation and printed pamphlet intervention were delivered to 266 men and women aged 18 to 65 years in 12 locations in urban setting. At baseline, the majority (80%) had poor knowledge of HPV, and less than 12% had ever received or have a family member who had received HPV vaccine or cervical screening. Postintervention, there was significant increase (>70%) in the participants knowledge and intention to take or encourage HPV vaccination and cervical screening. In addition, more than half were willing to pay for HPV vaccine and screening even when expensive. Gender-focused and context-specific low-cost community-based educational interventions are effective in increasing HPV vaccine and cervical screening in sub-Saharan Africa.

在尼日利亚增加人乳头瘤病毒疫苗接种和宫颈癌筛查:社区教育干预的评估。

我们探讨了两种基于社区的教育干预措施对尼日利亚成年人接受或鼓励人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)疫苗和宫颈筛查的知识和意愿的影响。在城市环境的12个地点向266名年龄在18至65岁之间的男性和女性提供了面对面的介绍和印刷的小册子干预。在基线时，大多数人(80%)对HPV知之甚少，只有不到12%的人曾经或有家庭成员接受过HPV疫苗或子宫颈筛查。干预后，参与者接受或鼓励HPV疫苗接种和子宫颈筛查的知识和意愿显著增加(>70%)。此外，超过一半的人愿意支付HPV疫苗和筛查费用，即使费用昂贵。在撒哈拉以南非洲，以性别为重点和具体情况的低成本社区教育干预措施在增加人乳头瘤病毒疫苗和子宫颈筛查方面是有效的。
