Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and screening rates are low among people experiencing homelessness. This systematic review highlights the need for targeted interventions to improve HPV-related cancer prevention in this vulnerable population.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Public Health
- Epidemiology
Background:
- Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related cancers are preventable through vaccination and screening.
- People experiencing homelessness (PEH) face barriers to accessing these preventive health services.
- Conflicting priorities may hinder engagement in HPV-related cancer prevention among PEH.
Conclusions:
- Adherence to HPV-related cancer prevention among PEH is below WHO guidelines.
- Future research should address specific risk factors associated with homelessness and evaluate upstream prevention strategies.
- Further studies should investigate other HPV-related cancers, such as anal cancer, in this population.
