The Previna board game was designed to be a complementary tool in the teaching and learning process about STIs for imprisoned women. The results showed that this educational technology significantly increased the players' knowledge about STIs and that this increase in knowledge remained significant during follow-up. This suggests that there was knowledge retention in the period researched. The increase in knowledge was also present in other studies that used board games for educational purposes [13,14,15,16]. The knowledge retention observed in this study is a result that draws attention, as the school teachers frequently mentioned that the women had difficulty retaining the contents taught in the classroom.

Increased HPV vaccinations may prevent 1,300 cases of cancer in California - UPI News Increased HPV vaccinations may prevent 1,300 cases of cancer in California - UPI News Posted: 02 Jul 2019 12:00 AM PDT July 2 (UPI) -- A large number of human papillomavirus cases could be wiped out in California -- and prevent thousands of cases of cancer -- if the state adopted widespread vaccination, a new study says. A vaccination coverage rate of 99.5 percent would prevent more than 1,300 people in the state from developing cervical cancer because of the reduction in HPV infection rates, according to a new study published Monday in the journal Sexually Transmitted Diseases. The new research follows studies in recent weeks that have shown HPV vaccination is contributing to significant decreases in the prevalence of HPV strains known to cause cervical and other cancers. Up to 90 percent of sexually active people are likely to be infected
