Abstract:

Background and Research Goals. This study aims to see the association between worldviews and HPV vaccine risk perceptions in a sample of Canadian undergraduate students enrolled in Health Sciences and Business programs at the University of Ottawa. It is a follow-up to the Kahan et al. (2010) research in the U.S. that showed the association to be present in a nationally representative U.S. sample. In addition to searching for this association in the Canadian context, this study examines whether worldviews differ between (a) men and women; and (b) students with health sciences and with business

Abstract:

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA test is more sensitive and can detect more high-grade cervical intraepithelial lesions than cytology test in cervical cancer screening. There are studies confirming HPV test being more effective in cervical cancer screening by detecting the persistence of HPV infection that could lead to cancer. However, the costs associated with a HPV test is higher than a cytology test. Moreover, HPV test is less specific which could subject more women to further triage tests or unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures. Therefore healthcare costs could possibly

Abstract:

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has received considerable attention since the 1980's. Since then worldwide attempts have been made to combat the transmission and progression of the virus. Among children, mother-to-child transmission is the most common source of infection. Current guidelines emphasize the importance of HIV testing of at-risk children to reduce mortality and morbidity. Evidence suggests the presence of barriers that may affect mothers' decision to test their children. To date, there has been no research looking at the experiences of HIV-positive mothers or the factors that in

Abstract:

There is evidence that some sub-Saharan African individuals suspect that they are HIV positive before diagnosis but delay being tested for HIV. This increases the likelihood of being diagnosed late (with a severely compromised immune system), a phenomenon that has been observed in sub-Saharan Africans diagnosed in the UK. Late diagnosis has negative personal and public health consequences. There is a lack of understanding of the psychological processes associated with delayed HIV-testing.

Abstract:

The specter of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has become increasingly prevalent since it first entered public awareness in 1982. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that approximately 1 million people in the United States of America (USA) are living with HIV/ AIDS. More alarming is the fact that approximately 250,000 people remain unaware of their seropositivity status, therefore putting themselves and others at risk. Ignorance concerning HIV status is due largely to two factors: either failure to take an HIV test in the first place,
