Women of Southeast Asian descent have higher cervical cancer incidence rates than any other group. Widespread use of HPV vaccination could prevent up to 70% of cervical cancers. There is little published information addressing HPV vaccination uptake among Asian Americans. We conducted a survey of Cambodian women with daughters who were age-eligible for HPV vaccination. Survey items addressed HPV vaccination barriers, facilitators, and uptake. Only 26% of the survey participants reported any of their age-eligible daughters had received vaccination, and only 40% reported a previous physician recommendation for vaccination. Higher levels of vaccine uptake were strongly associated with having received a doctor's recommendation for vaccination (p < 0.001) and having asked a doctor for vaccination (p = 0.002). HPV vaccine uptake was relatively low in our Cambodian study group. Educational initiatives should encourage health care providers who serve Cambodian families to recommend HPV vaccination and empower Cambodian mothers to ask their daughters' doctors for vaccination.
东南亚裔女性的宫颈癌发病率高于其他任何群体。广泛接种人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗可预防高达70%的宫颈癌。关于亚裔美国人接种HPV疫苗的公开信息很少。我们对有符合HPV疫苗接种年龄的女儿的柬埔寨女性进行了一项调查。调查项目涉及HPV疫苗接种的障碍、促进因素和接种情况。只有26%的调查参与者报告称其任何符合年龄的女儿接种了疫苗，只有40%的人报告称之前有医生建议接种疫苗。更高的疫苗接种率与收到医生的疫苗接种建议（p < 0.001）以及向医生咨询疫苗接种（p = 0.002）密切相关。在我们的柬埔寨研究组中，HPV疫苗接种率相对较低。教育举措应鼓励为柬埔寨家庭服务的医疗保健提供者推荐HPV疫苗接种，并使柬埔寨母亲有能力向女儿的医生咨询疫苗接种事宜。
