Abstract

There is a significant gap in knowledge and awareness of HPV, cervical cancer, and HPV vaccination among young tribal women. Despite this, attitudes toward vaccination are favorable, suggesting that targeted educational campaigns and integration of the HPV vaccine into national immunization programs could substantially improve vaccine uptake and reduce the burden of cervical cancer in underserved populations.
