We investigated whether Latina mothers who were and were not human papillomavirus (HPV) positive differed in their knowledge and acceptance of the HPV vaccine for their children.
We conducted a cross-sectional survey among women aged 18-64 years between April 2007 and April 2008. Data collectors conducted in-person interviews in community clinics with 215 HPV-negative women and 190 HPV-positive women (with respective response rates of 64% and 84%). Most (83%) HPV-positive women were recruited at dysplasia clinics. Although no HPV-negative women were recruited at dysplasia clinics, they were recruited at other low-income public and private clinics.
After adjustment for age, marital status, and health insurance, women who were HPV positive were more likely than HPV-negative women to have heard about the HPV vaccine, to indicate they would have their daughters and sons vaccinated against cervical cancer even if they had to pay themselves, and to be in favor of the proposed Texas law requiring girls to receive the HPV vaccine before entry into sixth grade but less likely to be in favor of girls receiving the vaccine at age > or =13.
Our findings indicate that >90% of Latinas living on the Texas-Mexico border find the HPV vaccine acceptable for their own daughters and sons.
我们调查了 HPV 阳性和阴性的拉丁裔母亲在其子女 HPV 疫苗的认知和接受程度方面是否存在差异。
我们于 2007 年 4 月至 2008 年 4 月期间对年龄在 18-64 岁的女性进行了横断面调查。数据收集员在社区诊所对 215 名 HPV 阴性女性和 190 名 HPV 阳性女性（相应的回复率为 64%和 84%）进行了面对面访谈。大多数（83%）HPV 阳性女性是在发育异常诊所招募的。尽管没有 HPV 阴性女性在发育异常诊所招募，但她们是在其他低收入公共和私人诊所招募的。
在调整年龄、婚姻状况和医疗保险后，HPV 阳性女性比 HPV 阴性女性更有可能听说过 HPV 疫苗，即使需要自己支付费用，她们也表示会为女儿和儿子接种宫颈癌疫苗，并且赞成德克萨斯州提出的要求女孩在六年级前接种 HPV 疫苗的法律，但不太赞成女孩在 >13 岁时接种疫苗。
我们的研究结果表明，生活在德克萨斯州-墨西哥边境的拉丁裔女性中，超过 90%的人认为 HPV 疫苗适合其女儿和儿子接种。
