From Awareness to ACTion Study: Improving Human Papillomavirus Knowledge, Screening, and Vaccine Uptake in Adolescent-Mother Pairs in the HOMINY study in Nigeria

Abstract

HPV awareness programmes significantly improved knowledge, vaccination uptake, and screening practices in this vulnerable population. As part of comprehensive STI elimination strategies, integrating HPV education and vaccination initiatives into HIV care and research will enhance prevention and address significant barriers. Lessons from a unique programmatic science framework provide critical insights for scaling vaccine delivery, and the design of future vaccine programmes.
