✅   HPV vaccination among young adults in Switzerland: a cross-sectional study

Health

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination status among a representative sample of young adults (YAs) with a special focus on the catch-up vaccination uptake among the male population in Switzerland. Design and setting Data were extracted from an online self-administered questionnaire survey, conducted as a representative cross-sectional study in 2017. To understand correlations between vaccination uptake and sociodemographic characteristics, sexual health, and sexual behaviour, we performed bivariate analysis and multivariate regression analysis. Participants Out of a total of 7142 participants, 2155 female and 996 male cisgender participants remained for statistical evaluation after excluding homosexual/bisexual study participants, those with gender dysphoria or those without knowledge of their vaccination status.
