Information Channels Associated with Awareness of Human Papillomavirus Infections and Vaccination among Latino Immigrants from Safety Net Clinics
Open accessAbstract
We report on information channels associated with awareness about human papillomavirus (HPV) among immigrant Central and South American Latinos. We conducted a survey of 1,334 Latino ≥ 21 years attending safety-net clinics in 2007-2008. Logistic regression analyses evaluated associations with HPV awareness. Forty-eight percent were aware of HPV infection and 40% were aware of the vaccine. Spanish television (38%) and providers (23%) were the primary HPV information sources. Infection awareness was associated with internet use (OR 1.47; 95% CI 1.10-1.96) and self-efficacy to find health information (OR 1.19; 95% CI 1.08-1.30). Vaccine awareness was associated with media use for health information (OR 1.27; 95% CI 1.09-1.49) and internet use (OR 1.59; 95% CI 1.18-2.13). Although Spanish television has reached this low HPV awareness group, there may be missed opportunities for education by providers. Television and the internet may also be effective channels for future interventions.

A number of studies have shown that media use could influence perceived knowledge and intentions within the context of health.
“A number of studies have shown that media use could influence perceived knowledge and intentions within the context of health [34-36].”
From A Cross-Cultural Comparison of an Extended Planned Risk Information Seeking Model on Mental Health Among College Students: Cross-Sectional Study (2020) · cites this paper as [35]
The Results (page not available) associate media use for health information with greater HPV-vaccine awareness among Latino immigrants. The Measures section (page not available) shows that the study asked whether participants had heard of HPV or its vaccine; it did not measure perceived knowledge or intentions. The source therefore supports the awareness aspect, but not the claim about intentions or a demonstrated influence of media use. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
