Abstract C90: Examining racial and ethnic disparities in HPV awareness and the association of trust in cancer information from physicians among males

Conclusion: In general, men are not receiving the information about the HPV or how it is transmitted. Furthermore, racial/ethnic differences were found in being informed about the HPV vaccine and trust in receiving cancer information from physicians. Findings suggest that men's lack of knowledge about HPV and the lack of trust of cancer information from physicians may be linked to a lack of HPV vaccinations. Future health communications efforts should explore community-based and culturally sensitive methods to disseminate HPV information to men.Note: This abstract was not presented at the conference.Citation Format: Dexter L.
