Abstract

In May 2018, Dr. Tedros Adhanom, Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), announced a call to eliminate cervical cancer as a public health problem. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) and causes cervical and other HPV-related cancers (de Sanjosé et al., 2018). HPV vaccination provides optimal protection from cervical and HPV-related cancers before exposure to HPV infection. Education about HPV and HPV vaccination should occur before young people are vaccinated (Davies & Burns, 2023; Davies et al., 2017, 2021a). Evidence shows that even one high-quality in-school lesson can significantly improve young people’s knowledge and understanding of HPV and HPV vaccination (Davies et al., 2017) and adolescent vaccination-related psychosocial outcomes (Davies et al., 2021a).
