Abstract

Objectives

This study aimed to assess the availability, understandability, actionability, readability and cultural relevance of HPV vaccination resources available online for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adolescents and parents/caregivers.

Methods

HPV vaccination resources were collected via Google and website searches. Resources were assessed for readability, understandability, actionability, and cultural relevance.

Results

We found eight resources, most of which were easy to read, understandable and actionable. While several resources met some criteria for cultural relevance, many lacked reporting on consultation and leadership and did not have a specific Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander contact for further support. Three of four reported up-to-date information about the HPV vaccine schedule. On balance, a short video performed best across all assessment items.

Conclusions

The evaluation highlights the need for HPV vaccination resources that are culturally safe, accurate, and easy for a consumer to understand and act upon.

Practice implications

Further work is required to ensure that resources are developed in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, are sustainable and can be rapidly updated to align with evolving policies. This will support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adolescents and parents/caregivers to make informed decisions about HPV vaccination.

对澳大利亚土著和托雷斯海峡岛民青少年、父母和照顾者可用的人乳头瘤病毒疫苗接种资源的评估

目的本研究旨在评估原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民青少年及其父母/照顾者在线HPV疫苗接种资源的可获得性、可理解性、可操作性、可读性和文化相关性。方法通过谷歌和网站检索收集疫苗接种资源。评估资源的可读性、可理解性、可操作性和文化相关性。结果我们找到了8个资源，其中大部分都易于阅读、理解和操作。虽然一些资源符合文化相关性的一些标准，但许多资源缺乏关于协商和领导的报告，也没有具体的土著和托雷斯海峡岛民联系以获得进一步支持。四分之三的国家报告了有关HPV疫苗接种时间表的最新信息。总的来说，短视频在所有评估项目中表现最好。结论：该评估强调了对HPV疫苗接种资源的需求，这些资源在文化上是安全的，准确的，并且易于消费者理解和采取行动。实践意义需要进一步开展工作，以确保与土著和托雷斯海峡岛民社区合作开发资源，确保资源的可持续性，并能够迅速更新以与不断变化的政策保持一致。这将支持土著和托雷斯海峡岛民青少年和父母/照顾者对HPV疫苗接种做出知情决定。
