Perceived causes of cancer in a rural community of Ethiopia
BACKGROUND: Although cancer incidence and mortality are rising in Ethiopia, lay and health professional perceptions of the disease remain limited. OBJECTIVE: To explore perceptions of cancer, including its causes, signs and symptoms, and transmission within a rural community in Ethiopia. METHODS: We conducted a qualitative study in four rural neighbourhoods of Butajira in central Ethiopia. Seven Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and six In-Depth Int…
Human papillomavirus prevalence and vaccine effectiveness in young women in Germany, 2017/2018
Background Infections with human papillomaviruses (HPV) are sexually transmitted and can cause cancer. In Germany, vaccination against HPV is recommended for girls and boys aged 9–17 years. We aimed to investigate HPV DNA prevalence, genotype distribution and vaccine effectiveness (VE) in women aged 20–25 years 10 years after the introduction of HPV vaccination in Germany (2018–2019), and compared these data to an equally designed study from 2010…
Female health-care providers’ advocacy of self-sampling after participating in a workplace program for cervical cancer screening in Ghana
BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among Ghanaian women and screening coverage is low. ACCESSING is a cross-sectional study investigating human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence via self-sampling in rural communities of the North Tongu district in Ghana. Female health-care providers (HCPs) were invited to self-collect a cervicovaginal sample with a commercial sampler in order to acquaint themselves with the sampling method…
Sexual behavior and factors associated with young age at first intercourse and HPV vaccine uptake among young women in Germany
In Germany, only a small proportion of women experienced first intercourse before the age of 14 years. Younger age at first intercourse was associated with behavior that might increase the risk of HPV infections or other sexually transmitted infections. Therefore, to optimize the HPV vaccination strategy, HPV vaccination series should be completed before the age of 14 years in Germany
