College men's knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about the human papillomavirus infection and vaccine.
Men enrolled in an urban university participated in focus groups (k=6; n=45) to explore knowledge about human papillomavirus and attitudes toward prophylactic vaccine. Results suggest that regardless of whether vaccines become available to men, educational efforts should include them, as men tend to have many misconceptions and do not perceive themselves to be vulnerable.
