The training titled "The Effect of Peer Education on Human Papillomavirus (HPV) for Students in the Faculty of Health Sciences on Knowledge, Awareness, and Concern Levels" includes scientific and up-to-date information about HPV transmission methods, prevention, risk factors, treatment methods, and vaccination. The content of the training aims to provide students with accurate information about HPV, as well as highlight the negative health effects of the virus, particularly its association with serious diseases like cervical cancer. The training seeks to increase students' awareness of HPV and help them manage their levels of concern about the virus. Through the peer education method, students were able to interact with each other, thus providing a more effective learning experience.

It consists of nine questions containing sociodemographic data of students, developed by the researchers.

The HPV-KS was developed in 2013 by Waller and colleagues to measure individuals' knowledge levels about HPV, the HPV vaccine, and screening tests. The scale examines whether individuals have previously heard about HPV, the HPV vaccine, and HPV screening tests, as well as the extent of their knowledge on these topics. The first subdimension of the HPV-KS consists of 16 items and assesses participants' general knowledge about HPV. The second subdimension includes six items and is related to HPV screening tests. The third subdimension consists of seven items and asks participants to respond to items about the HPV vaccine. The independent subdimension of the HPV-KS has been developed in three different forms for the HPV vaccination program conducted in three different countries. For each item in the HPV-KS, participants are expected to mark "Yes," "No," or "I don't know." The total score obtained from the HPV-KS ranges from 0 to 33.

Developed by Yılmaz Esencan and colleagues (2023), this scale is designed as a five-point Likert-type and consists of 19 items and three subdimensions. The subdimensions of the scale are "Concern about health," "Concern about being excluded," and "Awareness." The scale scores range from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 76 points. A higher total score indicates a stronger awareness of HPV. The Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient of the original scale was determined to be 0.905.
