Reflections from field notes: An oral human papillomavirus infection and oropharyngeal cancer study among Indigenous Australians.

The article explores human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and oropharyngeal cancer among Indigenous Australians. It attempts to explain why health promotion efforts around HPV infection, HPV vaccination and HPV-associated cancers have been unsuccessful among Indigenous Australians. Topics covered include HPV knowledge, the need for culturally specific health education delivery, and health behaviour of Indigenous Australians.
