Abstract	Objective: This study investigated potential factors associated with HPV vaccine uptake in a diverse population of traditional-age undergraduate students. Participants: One hundred and twenty-nine undergraduate students aged 18-24 attending a small southeastern university completed surveys in January to March of 2013. Methods: Questionnaires included demographic information, basic HPV knowledge, HPV vaccine uptake, and factors influencing uptake decision. Survey results were analyzed with chi-square and t-test analyses. Results: Vaccine uptake was significantly higher in students who reported that health care provider, public health information, parents, and access to vaccine were important factors in their decision to get vaccinated. Female students had a significantly higher vaccine uptake in comparison to males and the HPV knowledge scores differed significantly by race but not gender. Conclusions: It is especially important to consider how public health campaigns and communication with parents and health care providers help promote HPV vaccine uptake in this high-risk group.
