Shobha S. Krishnan, MD is a staff physician at Columbia University's Barnard College Health Services and has also worked as a surveillance physician at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This book discusses the controversy that still surrounds the HPV vaccine since the U.S. government approved it in 2006. Krishnan discusses the basic terms of HPV and the vaccine. She addresses the pros and cons of being vaccinated to parents, men, women, and teenagers. The book discusses the controversy over legal issues involved with the disease including state mandates. A unique aspect about this book is that the final chapter provides personal stories from women in developing countries and how the HPV vaccine impacted their life. This book would be very useful to anyone with an interest in the recent controversy over the HPV vaccine. This book is unique because it's focus is not limited: it is intended for men, women, parents, and teenagers to address the issues surrounding the vaccines controversy.
Henderson, G.S., Yasgur, B.S., & Warshowsky, A. (2002). Women at Risk: The HPV Epidemic and Your Cervical Health. New York, NY: Penguin Putnam Inc.
Gregory Henderson, M.D, Ph.D., is a pathologist who specializes in female reproductive cancers. Batya Yasgur is a freelance writer. Allan Warshowsky, M.D., is the director of the women's program of the Continuum Center of Health and Healing at Beth Israel Hospital in Manhattan. This book was written for all women but focuses on those women most at risk for HPV (sexually active and childbearing). This book is intended to help women maintain their reproductive health through prevention, treatment, stressing the importance of a healthy immune system, and some of the ways that HPV effects men and children. This book would be useful to any women looking to prevent HPV. This book is helpful also because it stresses an important point that many overlook-how to maintain a healthy immune system and prevent HPV. This book would be useful to anyone looking for other prevention methods and the possible effects that HPV may have on others than themselves.
Miller, A., Bosch, X., & Sankaranarayanan, R. (2002). Cervical Cancer Screening in Developing Countries. France: World Health Organization.
The World Health Organization collaborated on this 2002 publication with the Programme for Cancer Control and the Department of Health and Reproductive Research. This publication focuses on the effectiveness of screening programs in developing countries as a preventative measure for HPV. It offers summaries of evidence on these programs that focus particularly on lower and middle income countries because they are the most lacking in health care, coverage, and information. This source would be useful to anyone interested in the global effects of HPV. This source also provides many different screening methods and the results of their effectiveness.
