STUDY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness and effect of educational seminars given at 2 sites in north central Florida on the knowledge of human papillomavirus (HPV), perceived barriers to HPV vaccination, and willingness to vaccinate against HPV in eligible patients. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This study was performed in conjunction with the Committee for the Healthcare of Underserved Women, District XII, American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. One hundred participants, ages 18-65 years, were included in the study. INTERVENTIONS: Community outreach educational seminars, approximately 30 minutes in length, were given at 2 sites in Gainesville, Florida. MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES: Before and after seminar surveys were given to evaluate the effect of the seminars on knowledge of HPV, willingness to vaccinate against HPV, and barriers to vaccination. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant improvement in the willingness to accept the HPV vaccine and an improvement in knowledge of several HPV-related facts. There was a statistically significant decrease in several perceived barriers to HPV vaccination. CONCLUSION: This study illustrates the utility of educational seminars in patients' acceptance of health care options. Improving the educational opportunities of patients and families in relation to the HPV vaccine has the opportunity to make a significant outcome on vaccination rates.
