The aim of this study was to explore differences in beliefs about HPV and HPV vaccination, the information environment and social influences shaping vaccination decisions between male and female undergraduate university students in Belgrade, and to identify sex-specific factors associated with HPV vaccine uptake. A cross-sectional study was conducted between April and December 2024. An online questionnaire was completed by 1529 female and 423 male students who were either receiving their second or third dose of the nonavalent HPV vaccine, or accessing general healthcare services at the general medicine department of the Institute for Students' Health of Belgrade. Hierarchical logistic regression was used to identify predictors of HPV vaccine uptake in male and female students. Among female students, HPV vaccine uptake was associated with stronger beliefs in vaccine efficacy (OR = 2.01, 95% CI: 1.50-2.69) and safety (OR = 2.29, 95% CI: 1.69-3.10), lower perceived lack of information (OR = 0.71, 95% CI: 0.60-0.84), and social influence of family members, (OR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.04-2.03), colleagues (OR = 1.62, 95% CI: 1.01-2.59) and media (OR = 1.92, CI: 1.10-3.37).

This study highlights significant sex differences in factors influencing HPV vaccine uptake, indicating that tailored approach is required in designing vaccine promotion strategies.

This research investigates the effects of certain persuasive and adaptive design elements, i.e., Perceived Persuasiveness of Platform Design (PPS), Frequency of Nudge Exposure (NE), and Perceived Personalization (PP), on intrinsic motivation in virtual learning environments (INTR). We draw on Self-Determination Theory, Cognitive Load Theory, and Persuasive Systems Design to develop and test a conceptual model featuring cognitive overload (COG) and perceived autonomy (PAUTO) as mediating variables. We used a cross-sectional survey of university students (<i>N</i> = 740) and used Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) for data analysis. The findings show that all three predictors have significant impacts on intrinsic motivation, with PP as the strongest direct predictor. Mediation analyses produced complementary effects for NE and PP in that these traits not only boosted motivation directly, but also autonomy, and they decreased cognitive overload. Alternatively, PPS showed competitive mediation, boosting motivation directly but lowering it indirectly by increasing overload and decreasing autonomy. Multi-Group Analysis also revealed that such effects differ by gender, age, education, digital literacy, exposure to persuasive features, and use frequency of the platform. The results underscore the imperative for educational technology design to reduce cognitive load and support user control, especially for subgroups at risk. Interface designers, teachers, and policymakers who are interested in supporting healthy and ethical digital learning environments are provided with implications.
