Notes: + Participants with at least one documented dose of HPV vaccine; # p-value was calculated: for variable “Age” using Kruskal-Wallis test, for variables school-levels, migration background and sources of Information using Chi-square and for all others using Fisher’s exact test; a Respondents were free to select more than one source, thus column totals are greater than n = 161.
