- Abstract
Cervical cancer is the most common cancer in women and remains the cancer with the fifth highest mortality rate, worldwide. A 24-item questionnaire administered to primary care physicians in Mississippi was designed to consist of three primary components: practice identifiers, practitioner knowledge base concerning the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine, and practitioner observed obstacles to administering the vaccination. Practice identifiers consisted of demographic questions regarding participant educational background, medical specialty, length ot time practicing, and patient population, Barriers to vaccination were noted to be associated with patient compliance and provider perceived barriers in education of patients. Future increases in Human papilloma virus vaccination can be achieved by addressing these particular issues.
