HPV vaccination status by Knowledge of cervical cancer and HPV, perceived susceptibility to cervical cancer and perceived severity of cervical cancer


Knowledge (N = 777)

Vaccination status Knowledgeable (n = 127) (%) Not knowledgeable (n = 650) (%) Crude OR (95% CI)
Vaccinated 108 (85.0) 336 (51.7) 5.31 (3.19–8.86)***
Unvaccinated 19 (15.0) 314 (48.3) 1.0
Perceived susceptibility to cervical cancer (N = 775) +
Vaccination status High susceptibility (n = 261) (%) Low susceptibility (n = 514) (%) Crude OR (95% CI)
Vaccinated 149 (57.1) 294 (57.2) 1.00 (0.74–1.35)
Unvaccinated 112 (42.9) 220 (42.8) 1.0
Perceived severity of cervical cancer (N = 773) +
Vaccination status High severity (n = 612) (%) Low severity (n = 161) (%) Crude OR (95% CI)
