Abstract Su606: PulsePoint Alert Location Features in a Mid-Sized Metropolitan Area

Introduction: PulsePoint is a smartphone-based system that alerts layperson responders to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) events in non-residential locations within the United States. These locations can be classified to inform public access defibrillator (PAD) placement and focus responder training and recruitment efforts in high-frequency areas. Our objective was to manually classify the locations of PulsePoint alerts to better understand how PulsePoint performs across a variety of location types. Methods: Records were obtained for each PulsePoint alert in Allegheny County, PA, USA (pop. 1.2M) from 06/24/2016 to 10/28/2020. PulsePoint generates an alert when a potential OHCA occurs in public and is within 400m of at least one responder. Alert data contains address and location name, and the number and locations of nearby responders and PADs. We placed each location into one of the following categories: “education”, “consumer goods/services”, “restaurants/bars”, “transit hubs”, “hotels”, “entertainment venues”, “recreational facilities”, “government/municipal”, “offices”, “industrial/manufacturing”, “religious institutions”, “parks/outdoor spaces”, “sidewalk/street”, and “shelters/supportive housing”. “Unspecified/unknown” was used for locations that could not be classified due to insufficient information. We excluded all outpatient health, assisted-living, daycare, and correctional facilities. For each location category, we calculated the event count and the median number of nearby responders and PADs. Results: There were 994 included events during the capture period. The most frequent location category was “sidewalk/street”, which represented 24 percent of all alerts; the least frequent was “transit hubs”, which represented 0.7 percent of all alerts. “Shelters/supportive housing” had the highest median number of responders (7, IQR 1-14), while “industrial/manufacturing” had the lowest (1, IQR 1-3.5). “Transit hubs” had the highest median number of PADs (31, IQR 31-41), while “parks/outdoor spaces” had the lowest (0.5, IQR 0-1). Conclusion: PulsePoint alert-generating events occur across a wide variety of location types. Further research is needed to understand the accuracy of the system’s location data versus EMS dispatch records. Nonetheless, the data may have implications for system improvement by highlighting which location types have low numbers of nearby responders and PADs and may benefit from strategic PAD placements and training efforts.

Natural ventilation and acoustic privacy in settlement cores: a review of window technology and night-time economy planning policy

This study reviewed the potential of partially open windows to address the challenges of natural ventilation and night-time airborne noise within settlement cores. These areas, which often feature historic buildings, require sensitive interventions to balance the conservation of heritage with the need for liveable, sustainable cities. The 'night-time economy' (NTE) encompasses a diverse range of businesses, services, and events that operate beyond traditional daytime hours, such as restaurants, bars, nightclubs, entertainment venues, cultural events, and 24-hour services. Night-time noise disturbances can be detrimental to residents' health and well-being. A case study examined the solutions proposed by contemporary NTE planning policy to address night-time noise in settlement cores, particularly in instances where the expansion of NTE areas and extended trading hours are considered. No physical solution mitigation strategies for noise reduction were identified in the NTE policy, and only a management approach was proposed. This study examines the potential of innovative acoustically attenuated partially open windows as a strategic solution to airborne night-time noise pollution from a night-time economy. This solution may improve energy efficiency and sustainability in cities while allowing the night-time economy and residential areas to coexist more harmoniously.

Addressing Environmental, Economic and Social Impact Mining Companies on Taliabu Island, North Maluku

The fundamental characteristic of the iron ore mining industry is clearing land and changing the natural landscape so that it has the potential to have an impact on the environment, social and economic aspects of society. This research was conducted to determine the environmental, social and economic impacts on the people of Taliabu Island Village. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study method. The conclusion of this research is that the environmental impact caused by mining in the Taliabu Island Village area can still be overcome by the company by replanting trees in places where mining has been completed and the company even provides signs along roads and dangerous areas so that the community is protected from these environmental impacts. . The company can also overcome the social impacts that arise by providing equal career development opportunities for local employees and migrant employees so that social jealousy does not occur and economic welfare increases for the people of Taliabu Island Village. The community's economy has improved with the opportunity to work as company employees and the emergence of many food stalls, daily necessities stalls and even entertainment venues where previously the community had a source of income from clove and head plantations. The company also establishes a family relationship between the village head and all members of the community so that the impact, no matter how small, can still be overcome because all levels of society have a sense of ownership of the company and the benefits of the company are greatly felt.

Correlation Between Social Support and HPV Vaccination Behavior of Female Sex Workers in Entertainment Venues in a Region of Guangxi, China.

To understand the current situation for social support and HPV vaccination behavior of female sex workers (FSWs) in entertainment venues and to explore the association between the support and HPV vaccination behavior. 923 FSWs in entertainment venues in a region of Guangxi were selected as survey respondents by using intentional sampling and employing a self-developed basic information questionnaire. The social support rating and the HPV vaccination behavior scales were analyzed to determine the current status of support and HPV vaccination behavior of FSWs in entertainment venues. In addition, the correlations between these parameters were analyzed. The total score of social support of FSWs in entertainment venues was 35.13±8.10, and the score for HPV vaccination behavior was 30.08±5.73. There were significant differences between these two parameters for FSWs of different ages, monthly incomes and working hours (P < 0.05). Objective, subjective and social support were positively correlated with all dimensions of HPV vaccination behavior (r = 0.212~0.236, 0.245~0.334 and 0.113~0.152, respectively; P < 0.01 in all cases). Typical correlation analysis yielded a correlation between these three dimensions of social support as well as with two dimensions of HPV vaccination behavior (self-decision-making and self-efficacy) (r = 0.373; P < 0.01). Social support and HPV vaccination behavior of FSWs in entertainment venues initially low. However, as social support for FSWs was increased, their behavior towards HPV vaccination was elevated. Both subjective and objective support helped FSWs in entertainment venues their behavior to HPV vaccination and to maintain their physical and mental health.

Specially trained sniffer dogs can quickly identify the presence of these illegal substances in various locations, such as airports, seaports, and entertainment venues. This study aims to identify and analyze the role of the K-9 Unit of the Bali Regional Police in the process of crime disclosure. Through a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through interviews, observations, and literature studies. Through methods of observation, interviews, and literature study, this research is expected to provide a comprehensive and in-depth overview of the role of the K-9 Unit of the Bali Regional Police. The K-9 Unit of the Bali Regional Police has a significant contribution to disclosing crimes by providing technical assistance using sniffer dogs, which have proven effective in crime scene investigation and have a direct impact on solving criminal cases. Factors affecting the effectiveness of this unit include public demand, environmental conditions, and the availability of human and animal resources. To optimize its role, it is necessary to enhance training, facilities, coordination with related parties, and regular evaluation of the unit's performance.

Expansion of Smoke-Free Laws in Public Places and Support for Smoke-Free in Malaysia: Findings from the 2020 ITC Malaysia Survey.

Smoke-free laws (SFL) are more effective with public support. This study investigated the smoking prevalence, public perceptions of smoking rules, and support for comprehensive SFL among 1047 people who smoke (PWS) and 206 people who do not smoke (PNS) aged ≥18 in the 2020 International Tobacco Control Malaysia Survey. Smoking prevalence was highest in nighttime entertainment venues (85.7%), non-air-conditioned eateries (49.7%), and indoor workplaces (34.6%). Respondents reported that smoking was banned in most indoor workplaces (81.7% PNS, 69.2% PWS), air-conditioned eateries (84.7% PNS, 75.7% PWS), and non-air-conditioned eateries (81.2% PNS, 78.7% PWS), but much less so in nighttime entertainment venues (30.1% PNS, 24.6% PWS). Support for comprehensive SFL in public venues was highest among PNS (≥84.9%) but still substantial among PWS (≥49.9%). PWS under 40, Malay, married, and aware of smoking rules supported SFL more. Robust SFL enforcement is essential in Malaysia to reduce secondhand smoke exposure in public places.

Based on the analysis carried out, shows that the relationship between the variables studied has a positive relationship, and experiential marketing and service quality both simultaneously and partially have a significant effect on consumer repurchase interest. Of the two variables studied, experiential marketing has a greater influence than service quality on the repurchase interest of visitors to Jans Park Jatinangor.

Hangout Places Recommendation System Using Content-Based Filtering and Cosine Similarity Methods

Coffee shops are becoming the new normal for friends and coworkers to hang out. Selecting the ideal location to hang out can be exceedingly difficult. There are too many choices, and it can be difficult to know where to begin. Based on this problem, a web application that responds to the growing need for an easy method of finding local hangouts is named Nongkies. With a focus on social interaction and exploration, this platform uses a recommender system to find cafes, restaurants, and entertainment venues easily. Key features include location-based search, category, and details places. Extensive testing has confirmed the reliability of Nongkies, offering user-friendly and accurate search results. This system is a website app that suggests places to users based on their preferences. This application was developed using the cosine similarity method, which is a systematic approach that uses a similar method based on cosine angles. Content that is less alike gets lower rankings, while more similar content gets the highest rankings in recommendations. Moreover, this app helps users find local hangouts and directions to those locations, especially university students, and the selection of places to socialize has a significant effect on students' learning experiences.

Entertainment type robots based on machine learning and game teaching mode applied in dance action planning of art teaching

We studied the use of machine learning models for training dance action models, collected dance action data, annotated and classified it, and established a training set for dance action models. We trained the training set to learn the feature representation and pattern recognition capabilities of dance actions. Through training and tuning the model, a model that can accurately recognize and generate dance movements was obtained. Evaluate the similarity between two dance movements and select the appropriate dance movements to form a smooth dance sequence. A planning algorithm was designed based on the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of robots to generate dance action paths suitable for the robot’s body conditions. Considering factors such as joint limitations, body stability, and smooth movement of the robot, generate a reasonable dance motion path while ensuring safety. Through on-site testing and data analysis of the system, it has been verified that it can effectively generate diverse and expressive dance movements, bringing a unique viewing experience to entertainment venues.

Trigger Warnings in Nursing Education: Psychiatric Mental Health Instructors' Practices and Perspectives.

Psychiatric mental health (PMH) nursing education covers topics that some students find potentially distressing and anxiety-producing. Trigger warnings are commonly found in entertainment and social media venues, but there is little research to explore the use of trigger/content warnings in undergraduate nursing education. This current research surveyed PMH nursing instructors ( n = 48) and found that most give trigger warnings and believe them to be helpful. However, there is no consistency on how and when warnings are provided, nor their content. Overall, results indicate that trigger warnings may be one aspect of implementing supportive and trauma-informed pedagogy.

Assessment of Noise Exposure and Risk of Hearing Loss for Young People in Amusement Arcades.

Amusement arcades are one of the most popular entertainment venues for young people, but excessive noise levels inside them could harm young people's hearing. The aim of this study is to assess the characteristics and risk of noise exposure for young people in amusement arcades and understand their knowledge of and attitudes towards safe listening. In this study, noise measurement was conducted in five large amusement arcades to collect 40 noise samples. At the same time, questionnaires were used in each amusement arcade to investigate young players' social information, subjective perception, and cognition of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). The level of the noise samples ranged from 83.05 to 89.4 dBA. There are significant differences in noise levels between amusement arcades (P < 0.05), but there is no significant difference in noise levels between different games (P > 0.05). The subjective questionnaire survey shows that 61.9% of young people feel that the sound of video games is noisy or very noisy, but it is worth noting that 63.5% of them do not know or think that noise will not cause hearing loss, and 39.7% of people will choose to do nothing to help them endure the noise in such an environment. For safe listening, young people are more inclined to choose measures to stay in quiet areas and reduce the volume of game devices. The noise levels in most amusement arcades have exceeded the exposure limits recommended by the Environment Protection Agency (EPA); subjective questionnaires also indicate that internal noise levels may cause hearing loss, and young customers did not know enough about safe listening. For young people's hearing safety, these issues need more attention.

Classification of autonomous vehicle crash severity: Solving the problems of imbalanced datasets and small sample size

Only a few researchers have shown how environmental factors and road features relate to Autonomous Vehicle (AV) crash severity levels, and none have focused on the data limitation problems, such as small sample sizes, imbalanced datasets, and high dimensional features. To address these problems, we analyzed an AV crash dataset (2019 to 2021) from the California Department of Motor Vehicles (CA DMV), which included 266 collision reports (51 of those causing injuries). We included external environmental variables by collecting various points of interest (POIs) and roadway features from Open Street Map (OSM) and Data San Francisco (SF). Random Over-Sampling Examples (ROSE) and the Synthetic Minority Over-Sampling Technique (SMOTE) methods were used to balance the dataset and increase the sample size. These two balancing methods were used to expand the dataset and solve the small sample size problem simultaneously. Mutual information, random forest, and XGboost were utilized to address the high dimensional feature and the selection problem caused by including a variety of types of POIs as predictive variables. Because existing studies do not use consistent procedures, we compared the effectiveness of using the feature-selection preprocessing method as the first process to employing the data-balance technique as the first process.Our results showed that AV crash severity levels are related to vehicle manufacturers, vehicle damage level, collision type, vehicle movement, the parties involved in the crash, speed limit, and some types of POIs (areas near transportation, entertainment venues, public places, schools, and medical facilities). Both resampling methods and three data preprocessing methods improved model performance, and the model that used SMOTE and data-balancing first was the best. The results suggest that over-sampling and the feature selection method can improve model prediction performance and define new factors related to AV crash severity levels.

Investigating the spatial heterogeneity of drunk-driving events in Beijing based on a hybrid method with LISA and GeoDetector

Drunk-driving events can be divided into drunk-driving crashes (DDCs) and non-crash drunk-driving events (NDDEs). Strong spatial heterogeneity, which consists of spatial local heterogeneity and spatial stratified heterogeneity, exists in drunk-driving events. Therefore, this article proposed a hybrid method with LISA and GeoDetector to investigate the spatial heterogeneity of drunk-driving events. First, an integrated method of Getis-Ord Gi* and Anselin Local Moran’s I, which belong to LISA, was applied for the analysis of spatial local heterogeneity. Then, based on the improved GeoDetector with a highest q value, this article explored the main factors contributing to spatial stratified heterogeneity. Results show that DDCs are concentrated in the urban areas and the sub-centres located in the east of suburban, while NDDEs are predominantly found in the urban areas and the sub-centres located in the northwest and southwest of suburban. The spatial stratified heterogeneity analysis, conducted using the Factor Detector, reveals the pivotal factors influencing the spatial distribution of DDCs. Entertainment venues, alcohol outlets, and population density exhibit significant impacts, with q-values of 0.233, 0.227, and 0.203, respectively. Similarly, for NDDEs, the most influential factor is the density of entertainment venues, with a q-value of 0.243. When exploring the interaction effects between factors, the study emphasises that the interaction between population density and alcohol outlet density shows the highest q-value of 0.787. This highlights a substantial impact on the spatial formation of drunk-driving events. These findings offer valuable insights for implementing targeted measures to improve road safety and reduce the occurrence of drunk-driving events in Beijing.

Does the community service environment affect the willingness of older adults people to socialize for older adults care?

Population ageing is a significant trend in social development and will remain a fundamental national condition in China for the foreseeable future. Socialized older adults care has become a crucial strategy for China to address population ageing. However, the current levels of acceptance and willingness to seek socialized older adults care among older adults are relatively low. This study focuses on examining how the community environment and services influence older adults people's willingness to engage in social activities related to older adults care. Using data from the China Longitudinal Ageing Social Survey (CLASS) (N = 9,657), this study investigated the impact of the community service environment on older adults people's willingness to participate in social activities related to older adults care through a logit model. The study revealed that 9.15% of older adults (N = 9,657) in China are willing to engage in social activities related to older adults care. Furthermore, the individual characteristics and family support of older adults play a significant role in shaping their willingness to engage in older adults care. The provision of medical services, daily care services, and entertainment venues by the community positively influence older adults people's willingness to participate in social activities related to older adults care (p < 0.01), whereas psychological counselling services have a negative impact (p < 0.01). The impact of community services on older adults people's willingness to engage in social activities related to older adults care varies due to factors such as smoking and chronic diseases. These findings provide valuable insights for improving older adults' social engagement in China.

Objective: The aim of this research is to analyze regulations set by the Minister of Tourism and the creative industry for managers of tourism, hospitality, culinary, cafes, entertainment venues, and Tourism Villages to have Clenleness (Cleanliness), Health (Health), Safety (Safety), and Environmental Sustainability certificates. Theoretical Framework: The regulations set by the Minister of Tourism and the creative industry for managers of tourism, hotels, culinary, cafes, entertainment venues, and tourism villages to have Cleanliness, Health, Safety, and Environmental Sustainability certificates (CHSE) provides a guarantee (Cuarent) for consumers in terms of Clean, Beautiful, Safe, and Safe. Method: I used a qualitative approach in this field research in presenting and analysis the data. The subjects are authorities in board of culture and tourism (DINPORABUDPAR) of the Banyumas Regency and managers of 5 (five) tourist objects. I did pre-research to determine the integration of the value of halal tourism to the CHSE certificate in the management of tourism objects in Banyumas. I have conducted observation, interviews, and documentation to collecting the data. Further, I investigated about the potential and matters related to the implementation of the CHSE certificate in Banyumas. Results and Discussion: This study found that the CHSE certificate has been implemented in four tourism objects in Banyumas. Meanwhile, one of them (Maskumambang) is in the submission stage. Why is a CHSE certificate significant, because it can increase the competitiveness of tourist objects and can describe the readiness of tourism objects in welcoming tourists. In developing halal tourism, the Banyumas government must have the political will, the application of halal industry regulations, the provision of infrastructure and facilities, the provision of human resources, and sufficient budget allocation. Overall, the tourism infrastructure managed by the Banyumas district government has partially met the requirements for halal tourism. Research Implications: the research findings highlight the importance of implementing CHSE certificates and integrating halal tourism values in tourism management in Banyumas Regency to enhance competitiveness, meet consumer expectations, and promote sustainable and inclusive tourism practices. Originality/Value: The originality and value of the research lie in its unique focus on integrating halal tourism values with CHSE certification, promoting government collaboration, enhancing competitiveness and consumer assurance, emphasizing sustainability and cultural sensitivity, and providing practical implications for tourism management in Banyumas Regency

Spatial Urban Analysis of Attractions in Riyadh City Using Location-Based Social Network Data (LBSNs)

With the proliferation of technology and the advancement of mobile devices and the internet, the use of Location-Based Social Networks (LBSNs) has become popular in urban communities. That providing a rich source of data for analyzing social and urban behaviour in cities. Which allows for the tracking of urban interaction patterns and human activity to understand visitor behaviour in these places. This paper aims to identify spatial patterns and the distribution the attractions using LBSNs. Density estimation, spatial direction monitoring, and identification of spatial correlation of attractions within Riyadh city were conducted. Heat maps were utilized to reveal the relative density of attraction spots in Riyadh. On the other hand, the distribution trend was analysed using the SDE tool. Moreover, Moran's I index was employed to measure the spatial correlation of attractions within the city. The results of directional and density analysis of attractions indicate a tendency for attraction spots to concentrate in the city centre. Additionally, the results reflect variations between types of places across the studied categories, including parks, shopping centres, entertainment venues, and tourist attractions. The Moran index indicates spatial correlation for the attractions. Overall, LBSNs can be considered an additional and reliable source of big data for social media to monitor urban places and interactions within the city. Future integration of temporal analysis with spatial analysis can be pursued to identify spatiotemporal changes over time. Key words: GIS, Spatial Analysis, LBSNs, Google maps.

Emotional, coping factors and personality traits that influenced alcohol consumption in Romanian students during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional study

BackgroundDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, after 3 months from the installation of the state of emergency on the territory of Romania, data were collected from 677 students and master’s students, to explore the problematic alcohol consumption (AC).MethodsThe evaluation was done with: Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales, Strategic Coping Approach Scale and The Freiburg Personality Inventory. The statistical methods used were linear regression with bootstrap procedure, Spearman’s rank correlation, and the Mann-Whitney U test.ResultsMore than half were affected by depression or anxiety of moderate to extremely severe intensity. The prevalence of problematic alcohol consumption was low: (Hazardous and Extremely Hazardous (2.3) and Medium Risk (10.2). Early onset increases the subsequent risk of problematic AC, compared to women, men recorded a higher AC (p <.01). Anxiety, antisocial action, personality traits Aggressiveness and Somatic complaints had the effect of increasing the alcohol consumption score (p <.01). Significant but weak positive correlations between AC on one hand, and depression, anxiety, stress and antisocial action on the other hand were found (p <.01).ConclusionsProbably the prevalence of AC was low as a result of the fact that most respondents were studying in the field of health promotion and as a result of the closure of entertainment venues. This study advocates for the education of youngsters to clearly express their opinions without violating the boundaries of others’ feelings (assertive action) and to act prudently in dangerous or uncertain situations (cautious action) since these coping mechanisms were not associated with problematic alcohol consumption. The promotion of positive, achievement-oriented, life attitudes is equally important, as these characteristics of the Life Satisfaction personality dimensions were also found as non-determinants of alcohol-induced problems. The association of problematic AC with antisocial actions as a coping mechanism and high scores on Aggressiveness calls for interventions to educate the younger generation how to acquire and adopt healthy mechanisms to control tensions without resorting to alcohol consumption, more so as the two variables reinforce each other. Drinking as a means of gaining courage must be carefully reconsidered since anxiety generally hits back, often in increased levels.

Upaya Penanggulangan Penyebaran Konten Pornografi di Media Sosial

This research aims to determine efforts to overcome the spread of pornographic content on social media. This research is empirical research because it places primary data in the community as the main data that will be analyzed qualitatively. The research results show that efforts to overcome the spread of pornographic content on social media are carried out by providing guidance and counseling regarding the dangers and sanctions for spreading pornography in society, especially for students; Conduct dialogue both directly and via radio and other mass media. Apart from that, dialogue is also carried out with the wider community through community-based field activities, such as programs held for the community by the police, for example when the police are asked to provide a welcome and guidance to the community when there is an agenda in the sub-district and village; Carry out raid operations and process legally, namely the police, especially the Bone Bolango Police, carry out raids and operations at entertainment venues, hotels and accommodation, especially in boarding houses which may be used as immoral places. If found, the police will summon immoral perpetrators, including those who make pornographic videos and take legal action; and Providing protection for victims, by first receiving complaint reports, then collaborating with related parties to fulfill the victims' rights.

The design of carbon monoxide gas control systems in rooms based on IoT

The increasing use of air-conditioned rooms in public entertainment venues but allowing visitors to smoke indoors makes some visitors feel uncomfortable. This final project aims to be able to design a carbon monoxide gas control device and carbon monoxide gas monitoring using IoT technology. The methodology for making this tool involves literature study methods in national journals and internet searches regarding projects that have been made before. Then identify problems in the field so that improvements can be made in tool design. In this tool, air content readings use the MQ-135 sensor to detect gas levels. Control uses the Ardiono Uno microcontroller as the data processing center, the ESP 8266 nodeMCU as the data sender to the application. From several experiments it was concluded that the tool operated as expected. It can be seen from the experimental data that the MQ-135 sensor works accurately in detecting the air quality levels in the room. It starts when the sensor detects air levels and then the reading results become input to start activating the relay for on/off the exhaust fan and also perfume, which will be active to neutralize the air in the room. The buzzer will activate when the reading value reaches the programmed gas level. The sensor reading value that is read will then appear on the LCD and also on the Blynk application.

Analysis of influencing factors of HPV vaccination willingness of female sex workers in urban entertainment venues based on the IMB model in Guangxi, China

ObjectiveUnderstanding HPV vaccination willingness and its influencing factors among female sex workers (FSWs) in entertainment venues in an urban area of Guangxi, China.MethodsFrom 15 August to 15 October 2022, FSWs in entertainment venues with commercial sex trade in an urban area of Guangxi were selected as the study subjects for the questionnaire survey using the method of intentional sampling. The questionnaire based on the information-motivation-behavior (IMB) skills model was used to collect the basic characteristics, HPV and HPV vaccine-related information and cognition, motivation to vaccinate, behavioral skills and willingness to vaccinate from the research targets. A multifactor logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors influencing the research targets' willingness to receive HPV vaccination.ResultsOf the 921 research targets, 712 (77.31%) were willing to receive HPV vaccination. The higher the level of knowledge regarding HPV and HPV vaccine-related information, the higher the motivation for HPV vaccination. In addition, the higher the behavioral skills score, the higher the willingness of FSWs in entertainment venues to receive HPV vaccination (P<0.001). FSWs in entertainment venues with lower venue grades [OR(95% CI)=0.693 (0.539, 0.891), P=0.004] were more reluctant to receive HPV vaccination. Those who favored the effectiveness of the vaccine in preventing the disease [OR(95% CI)=2.144 (1.449, 3.174), P<0.001] and those who had heard of HPV vaccine [OR(95% CI)=2.105 (1.451, 3.054), P<0.001], were able to perceive the benefits of HPV vaccination [OR(95% CI)=1.134 (1.045, 1.230), P=0.002]. These individuals acquired greater behavioral skills i.e., self-decision making for HPV vaccination [OR(95% CI)=1.130 (1.008, 1.267), P=0.036] and self-efficacy [OR(95% CI)=1.135 (1.081, 1.191), P<0.001] and they were more willing to receive HPV vaccine.ConclusionsThere was a relatively high HPV vaccination willingness among FSWs in entertainment venues in an urban area of Guangxi, China. Attention should be focused on introducing the benefits of primary prevention measures such as the HPV vaccine for individuals and behavioral skills for HPV vaccination in order to increase their willingness to be vaccinated thus increasing their HPV vaccination rate.
