title: Data from: Knowledge, attitudes, and practices among Indonesian urban communities regarding HPV infection, cervical cancer, and HPV vaccination

description: Background: Few studies explored Indonesian understanding of
 cervical cancer (CC) and the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. We
 aimed to investigate the association between knowledge, attitudes, and
 practices (KAP) and socio-demographical influences related to HPV, CC, and
 vaccination among Indonesian urban citizens. Methods: We conducted an
 online survey during March 2020-August 2021 using the Snowball sampling
 technique. The socio-demographic characteristic and KAP responses were
 collected via Google Forms from 400 respondents in Jakarta. The knowledge
 and attitudes were divided into HPV and CC (aspect 1) and HPV vaccination
 (aspect 2). Correlation between KAP scores was performed using
 Spearman's test, and multiple logistic regression analyses were
 conducted to determine KAP predictors. Results: Indonesian urban
 citizens in Jakarta were found to have poor knowledge in individual
 aspects of the inquiry but moderate knowledge overall, good attitude in
 inquiry both in each aspect and overall, and unsatisfying practices.
 Overall, in the general population, men, and women respectively: 50.8%,
 32.4%, and 53.6% had good knowledge; 82.0%, 75.2%, and 84.4% expressed
 positive attitude; and 30.3%, 15.2%, and 35.6% applied favorable practice
 regarding questions inquired. Knowledge was weakly correlated towards
 attitude (ρ=0.385) but moderately correlated with practice (ρ=0.485);
 attitude was moderately correlated with practice (ρ=0.577), all results:
 p&lt;0.001. Significant odds ratio (OR) for predictors to good
 knowledge were female sex (OR=2.99), higher education (OR=2.91), and
 higher mother's education (OR=2.15). Factors related to positive
 attitudes were higher mother's education (OR=4.13), younger age
 (OR=1.86), and better results in the knowledge inquiries (OR=2.96).
 Factors that suggested better practices were female sex (OR=2.33), being
 employed (OR=1.68), excellent knowledge scores (OR=4.56), and positive
 attitudes expressions (OR=8.05). Having done one vaccination dose and
 intention to receive vaccines were significantly influenced by good KAP.
 Conclusions: KAP had inter-association to successful CC and HPV
 prevention programs, and socio-demographical characteristics are critical
 to influencing better KAP.
description: This is data from a cross-sectional study entitled
 "Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Among Indonesian Urban
 Communities Regarding HPV Infection, Cervical Cancer, and HPV
 Vaccination." We surveyed between March 2020 and August 2021 through
 an online self-reported questionnaire. We used the eligibility criteria
 for participants who were urban citizens from diverse backgrounds aged ≥9
 years, male or female who had resided in Jakarta, Indonesia, for at least
 six months, had a basic level of literacy, and had given written informed
 consent to participate in the study. Participants who did not completely
 fill out the questionnaire were excluded. Questionnaires were made in
 Google Forms and distributed using virtual social media platforms such as
 Whatsapp, Line, Instagram, and people's networks. Participants were
 recruited using the Snowball sampling technique, and the questionnaire was
 filled voluntarily by consent and anonymously.
