The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a precursor of cervical cancer. In 2006, the Federal Drug Administration licensed a vaccine to protect against four types of HPV. Three years postlicensure of the vaccine, HPV vaccination is still fraught with controversy. To date, research suggests that contrary to popular notions, parents are less concerned with controversies on moral issues and more with uncertainty regarding because long-term safety of a drug is resolved after licensure. This study was designed to understand whether mothers from diverse ethnicities perceive a need for a decision support tool. Results suggest that the design of a culturally tailored decision support tool may help guide parents through the decision-making process.
人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)是宫颈癌的诱因。2006年,美国食品药品监督管理局批准了一种预防四种HPV类型的疫苗。在该疫苗获批三年后,HPV疫苗接种仍然充满争议。迄今为止的研究表明,与普遍看法相反,家长们较少关注道德问题上的争议,更多地关注不确定性,因为药物的长期安全性在获批后就已确定。本研究旨在了解不同种族的母亲是否认为需要一种决策支持工具。结果表明,设计一种符合文化特点的决策支持工具可能有助于指导家长完成决策过程。
