Show abstract
The study analyzed knowledge about Human Papillomavirus among adults in traditional quilombola communities in northeast Brazil while discussing their sociodemographic characteristics and evaluating sociodemographic variables among different quilombola communities. It was a descriptive, cross-sectional, and quantitative mixed-method study, with face-to-face interviews and a questionnaire application. There is a significant gap in the precise understanding of HPV. Most information was acquired through traditional media, such as TV, newspapers, and radio. Women and younger individuals demonstrated more comprehensive knowledge of the subject. The results highlight the need for specific instructions to improve knowledge about HPV in these communities, with strategies adapted to their sociodemographic characteristics. Enhanced understanding of HPV and the importance of vaccination can significantly contribute to the health and well-being of these populations, decreasing health disparities. With better knowledge about HPV and its consequences, the vaccination rate will increase, which in the long term will mean a reduction in the incidence of cancer cases associated with this virus, especially cervical cancer.
