HPV Knowledge

The HPV vaccine has been in the news of late, so it seems useful to look at a little research on the topic that kinda sorta fits my blog's topic.  In this case, research on what people know or think they know, and their attitudes toward, the vaccine.

• Here's a study, abstract only, that examines the attitudes of gay and heterosexual men.  They found gay men more accepting of the vaccine.

• Another study finds moral beliefs play a big role among Asians in considering the vaccine.

• Even in the U.S., among black college students, men are significantly less likely to have heard about the vaccine.  Similar study here.

• Indeed, studying college students on the topic appears to be a cottage industry.  Here's one study that gets at knowledge.
