Future patterns in burden and incidence of squamous cell carcinoma of the anus in the United States, 2001-2035.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (SCCA) incidence has been rising in the United States, particularly among older adults (≥65 years). We estimated the impact of this rise on future burden (through 2035) using age-period-cohort modeling. The SCCA burden (cases/year) is expected to rise, reaching approximately 2700 among men and approximately 7000 among women in 2031-2035 (burden during 2016-2020 among men and women was approximately 2150 and approximately 4600), with most cases 65 years of age or older (61% in men and 70% in women in 2031-2035; from 40% and 46% in 2016-2020).

National Breast, Cervical, and Colorectal Cancer Screening Use in Federally Qualified Health Centers.

Importance: Federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) deliver health care to nearly 30 million underserved persons across the US, yet nationwide and state-level breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening use in FQHCs is not described. Furthermore, it is unknown how the underscreened FQHC population contributes to the total underscreened population at national and state levels.

Objective: To describe national- and state-level breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening use among individuals served by FQHCs in the US and to estimate the percentage of underscreened individuals in the general population served by FQHCs.

Factors associated with parental human papillomavirus vaccination intentions among adolescents from socioeconomically advantaged versus deprived households: a nationwide, cross-sectional survey.

Background: In the USA, HPV vaccine coverage is substantially lower among adolescents from high-income households compared to their low-income counterparts. We examined and compared the factors associated with parental HPV vaccination intentions between socioeconomically divergent groups.

Contraception-related knowledge, attitude, belief contexts among US women experiencing homelessness: A scoping review.

Contraception provision may help reduce undesired pregnancies, but women experiencing homelessness may have low health literacy, specific attitudes, and certain beliefs that influence contraception uptake. This scoping review identifies what is known about pregnancy prevention and contraception knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs among US women experiencing homelessness. This review examined English articles that measured the context of knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs related to contraceptive use for avoiding pregnancy among US women experiencing homelessness.

A socioecological perspective to contraceptive access for women experiencing homelessness in the United States.

Objective: Although persons who are pregnancy-capable and experiencing homelessness may have a strong desire to avoid pregnancy, they face unique barriers to contraception. This multimethod qualitative study aimed to identify preferences for, barriers to, and facilitators of contraceptive access and use among women experiencing homelessness in the United States using a systems perspective.

Study Design: We conducted semistructured interviews with women experiencing homelessness (n = 19), healthcare providers (n = 6), and social service providers (n = 6).

The Development and Psychometric Evaluation of the Mid-adult Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Knowledge Scale in the United States.

Background: Previous human papillomavirus (HPV) and HPV vaccine knowledge scales have focused on young adults in the vaccination catch-up age range or parents of vaccine eligible adolescents. Previous scales are not specific to the new guidelines for HPV vaccination in mid-adults. The study aimed to develop and validate a mid-adult HPV vaccine knowledge scale informed by the latest vaccine recommendations.

‘The chances are zero’: a qualitative study on perceived susceptibility to pregnancy among women experiencing homelessness.

Background: Women experiencing homelessness are at higher risk of unintended pregnancy than women stably housed. The way women perceive their susceptibility to pregnancy may contribute to effective contraceptive use. This study aimed to explore how women experiencing homelessness perceive their susceptibility to pregnancy with and without contraception from a qualitative, emic perspective.

Health Literacy Correlates to HPV Vaccination Among US Adults Ages 27-45.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is now available for adults aged 27-45 as a shared clinical decision. Health literacy skills (i.e.

Exploring novel strategies for social media HPV vaccine information.

To respond to potential public health impacts of social media influencing vaccine confidence, Facebook proposed that prior to proceeding to any link about Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, a pop-up will prompt the user to visit a reputable website on vaccine information. This study explored the acceptability of a pop-up Facebook message for HPV vaccine information. A national sample of U.

Development and Validation of a Child Physical and Sexual Abuse Prevention Scale.

School-based child abuse primary prevention programs are delivered across the country; however, a validated measurement tool that is feasible to deliver to students is unavailable. The purpose of this study was to describe the development and validation of a measurement tool for knowledge and skills related to the primary prevention of child physical and sexual abuse. Two elementary schools and 404 students participated.

Quality over quantity: human papillomavirus vaccine information on social media and associations with adult and child vaccination.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is recommended for adults aged 27-45 as a shared clinical decision with their healthcare provider. With the rise of social media as a vaccine information source, this study examined the extent of exposure to HPV vaccine content by social media platform and evaluated associations between HPV vaccine content on social media and HPV vaccine intent among both 27-45 year olds and their eligible children. U.

Decision support needs for shared clinical decision-making regarding HPV vaccination among adults 27-45 years of age.

Objective: Identify HPV information needs and shared clinical decision-making preferences among adults 27-45 and describe differences in needs and preferences among underserved and vulnerable populations.

Methods: Participants 27-45 years old with no history of HPV vaccination completed a cross-sectional web-based survey between April-May 2020 (N = 702). Preferred role in shared clinical decision making was described across demographic groups and sociodemographic correlates of HPV vaccine information needs.

Health literacy is an amenable factor that can improve screening uptake. However, associations between the multidimensional health literacy domains and cervical cancer screening nonadherence are not known and should be considered to improve screening rates. The current quantitative study assessed the associations of multiple health literacy domains with cervical cancer screening nonadherence.
