Abstract
Background/Objectives: Despite the availability of safe and highly effective human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines, vaccination coverage remains below global targets in many low- and middle-income countries. School-based HPV prevention campaigns represent a promising strategy to promote adolescent engagement in preventive health behaviors; however, little is known about the factors of adolescents’ intention to participate in these initiatives, particularly in Latin America. This study aimed to identify factors of adolescents’ intention to participate in a school-based HPV prevention campaign in Bogotá, Colombia.
