Awareness Of Human Papillomavirus Link Increases.(survey results state that more women are aware of the link between human papillomavirus and cervical cancer)
2001 APR 12 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Digene Corporation (DIGE) announced March 20, 2001, that recent findings from a U.S. survey revealed a significant rise in the number of women who know that human papillomavirus (HPV) is a cause of cervical cancer.
The survey, conducted by the National Cervical Cancer Public Education Campaign, found that one in five women is now aware of the link between HPV and cervical cancer. This represents a marked increase over results from 1998, when 19 out of 20 women responded that they were unaware of the link.
Survey results were drawn from telephone interviews conducted in December 2000 with 402 women age 30 and older in the United States. Twenty percent of the respondents in the 2000 study were aware that HPV causes cervical cancer compared with only 5% in a similar study conducted by Wirthlin Worldwide in 1998.
