Mean (SD)
Bivariate OR (95% CI) Multivariate OR (95% CI)
Not willing (n=187) Willing (n=109)
Perceived knowledge of HPV-related disease 1.50 (0.50) 1.54 (0.46) 1.19 (0.73 to 1.93)
Concern about getting HPV-related disease 1.21 (0.38) 1.45 (0.51) 3.53 (1.93 to 6.46)** 1.64 (0.79 to 3.41)
Perceived severity of HPV-related disease 3.23 (0.75) 3.27 (0.70) 1.08 (0.78 to 1.50)
Perceived likelihood of getting HPV-related disease 1.74 (0.61) 2.15 (0.57) 3.07 (2.00 to 4.71)** 1.80 (1.02 to 3.17)*
Perceived barriers to getting HPV vaccine 2.71 (0.89) 2.86 (0.83) 1.21 (0.92 to 1.59)
Perceived effectiveness of HPV vaccine 2.43 (0.85) 3.02 (0.78) 2.37 (1.72 to 3.27)** 1.86 (1.22 to 2.83)**
Anticipated regret if chose not to get vaccinated and later developed HPV infection 2.62 (1.07) 3.46 (0.78) 2.54 (1.89 to 3.41)** 2.01 (1.40 to 2.89)**

The multivariate model included variables from tables 1 and 2 bivariately associated (p<0.05) with willingness to get HPV vaccine. The multivariate model did not include variables with dashes (−).
