Teen pregnancy and HPV vaccination continue to be a pressing issue for low-income populations. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection which is the cause of several cancers, including cervical cancer, and genital warts. Although cervical cancer can be prevented through screening, this cancer persists in the US. More recently, HPV vaccination has the potential to decrease the burden of HPV-related disease among young HPV-unexposed adolescents. This learning collaborative will explore the role of community health workers in teen pregnancy prevention and HPV vaccine promotion in teenage girls living in public housing.
