The behavioral and social drivers of HPV vaccination among parents and young people in Indonesia: a scoping review
View abstract on PubMed
Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Understanding human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination drivers in Indonesia is key. Key factors include knowledge gaps, religious considerations (halal status), and social influences from family and teachers, impacting vaccine uptake.
Area Of Science
- Public Health
- Vaccinology
- Social Science
Background
- Indonesia launched a national human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination program in August 2023.
- The program achieved 90% coverage for both doses, highlighting the need to understand vaccination drivers.
Purpose Of The Study
- To explore the behavioral and social drivers of HPV vaccination among parents and young people in Indonesia.
- To inform strategies for optimizing HPV vaccine uptake during the national rollout.
Main Methods
- A scoping review of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method studies was conducted.
- Studies were searched across four databases and assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool.
- Findings were synthesized using the World Health Organization's Behavioral and Social Drivers (BeSD) of vaccination framework.
Main Results
- Eighteen studies revealed drivers across BeSD domains: thinking/feeling, social process, motivation, and practical issues.
- Low knowledge of HPV and vaccines contrasted with high motivation; halal status was a significant consideration.
- Spouses, teachers, and family were key influencers; Puskesmas (community health centers) were preferred vaccination sites, with cost being a concern.
Conclusions
- Optimizing HPV vaccine uptake requires addressing knowledge gaps and communicating clearly about the halal status of vaccines.
- Involving parents, family, teachers, and community members is crucial for effective communication.
- Ensuring vaccine accessibility beyond school settings is necessary for broader program success.

Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Overview
Vaccination is the administration of antigenic material from pathogens to confer immunity against a specific microorganism. Vaccination primes the immune system to recognize and mount an immune response faster and more effectively if the real pathogen is encountered. Vaccinations are one of the most efficient ways to protect both individual humans and the general public from disease. A growing anti-vaccination skepticism risks the successes of vaccination programs that helped reduce...
Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:
Selection Bias: This occurs when the study population is not...
In statistical epidemiology and health sciences, two essential metrics—prevalence and incidence—are fundamental for understanding disease dynamics within a population. These measures enable public health officials, epidemiologists, and researchers to assess the burden of diseases, allocate resources effectively, and design impactful public health policies and interventions.
Prevalence indicates the proportion of individuals in a population who have a specific disease or health...
Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:
• Adult screening for blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes
• Cancer screenings such as colonoscopies and...
Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.

Parents serve as primary guides and managers in an adolescent's life, offering support instrumental in decision-making and personal growth....
