se it is not 100 percent effective.

In the study, the authors found evidence of regression on two safety measures: wearing light-coloured clothing and using tick repellant. However, they found no evidence of disinhibition, which led Brewer to conclude that fears of disinhibition related to the HPV vaccine could be overblown as well.

What on earth can Lyme disease vaccination tell us about HPV. Well, it sets you up to ask the right questions. In the place where risk compensation is most likely to happen a disease where people know the risk and know how to prevent it we find weak support for it, Brewer said.

On the other hand, with HPV, few people know that the sexually transmitted virus can cause cervical cancer; consequently, few take steps to prevent it because they are unaware of the risk. As a result, there is no reason to expect to see disinhibition, Brewer said.

Baruch Fischhoff, professor of social and decision sciences at Carnegie Mellon University, is not convinced that the two vaccines are comparable.

I have trouble extrapolating to HPV. They found that people who deliberately took a vaccine understood and took actions based on the benefit of having it to live easier lives. If I get more benefit at the same level of risk, whats wrong with that, he said.

Fischhoff does not see adults choosing vaccination to prevent a tick-borne illness as similar to girls receiving a vaccine to prevent a sexually transmitted infection that they could encounter much later in life.

However, he said that at least one study might be more applicable. A 2007 Cochrane Library review found that girls given Plan B emergency birth control to have on hand just in case were not any more likely to engage in sex than those who were not given the pills.

The study appears online in the August print issue of the Annals of Behavioural Medicine.
