Article Synopsis
- HPV is the primary cause of cervical cancer, yet many young students lack essential knowledge about it, prompting a study among first-year and third-year Nursing and Social Work students in Greece.
- The study, which surveyed 371 students, revealed that only 22.1% were aware of all HPV transmission methods and just 5.9% recognized all the cancers associated with HPV; the vaccination rate stood at 33.7%.
- Most students relied on the Internet for information, suggesting a need for improved educational strategies about HPV targeting young people and their families.
