| Abstract |
The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is associated with the diagnosis of anal, penile, and oropharyngeal cancers in men. Evidence indicates that correct condom use in addition to obtaining the HPV vaccine provides the greatest protection from HPV infections. To explore young male's beliefs and behavioural intention in relation to receiving the HPV vaccine and using a condom correctly and consistently for sexual contact. A cross-sectional study underpinned by the Theory of Planned Behaviour was conducted with male participants (n=359, 18-28 years) who completed an online survey. Descriptive, correlational, and hierarchical regression analysis were performed on both status variables and variables of the Theory of Planned Behaviour FINDINGS: Sexual orientation (β= 0.177, p<0.01) and social influences [β=0.519, p<0.001] were identified as the most influential variables in relation to males' intention to receive the HPV vaccine. Whilst relationship status (β=-.215, p<0.001) and attitudes [β=0.394, p<0.001] presented as the most significant predictor of intention to use a condom. Summarily, 51% of the variance in intention to receive the HPV vaccine and 44% in intention to use a condom were explained by the TPB model. Results from this study will impact on future sexual health research, education programmes, and interventions for both HPV preventative behaviours in the elimination of HPV related cancers in males. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 March 2019.
All research outputs
#15,139,659
of 24,477,448 outputs
Outputs from Psycho-Oncology
#1,606
of 2,438 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#174,509
of 320,282 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Psycho-Oncology
#26
of 41 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,477,448 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,438 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.9. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 320,282 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 41 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
