The purpose of this study was to identify the barriers and benefits to human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in a low-income, Latina farmworker population in central Florida. This study reports on formative qualitative research conducted on perceptions of benefits, barriers, costs, place, and promotion related to the HPV vaccine from surveys and interviews with a sample of 46 low-income, Latina farm workers and 19 health care workers serving this population. It was found that Latina farmworkers hold many misperceptions about the HPV vaccine and the potential links between HPV infection and cervical cancer. In addition, it was observed that HPV vaccination intention was inversely related to concerns about adolescent sexual behavior and low perceived risk of infection but might be positively influenced by belief in illness prevention and physician recommendation. These findings add to the growing research on HPV vaccine acceptability among Latina subgroups to inform intervention development, marketing materials, education, and policy.
本研究的目的是确定佛罗里达州中部低收入拉丁裔农场工人人群中，人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗接种的障碍和益处。本研究报告了通过对46名低收入拉丁裔农场工人和19名服务该人群的医护人员进行调查和访谈，就与HPV疫苗相关的益处、障碍、成本、地点和推广认知所开展的形成性定性研究。研究发现，拉丁裔农场工人对HPV疫苗以及HPV感染与宫颈癌之间的潜在联系存在许多误解。此外，研究观察到，HPV疫苗接种意愿与对青少年性行为的担忧以及较低的感染感知风险呈负相关，但可能受到疾病预防信念和医生建议的积极影响。这些发现为拉丁裔亚群体中HPV疫苗可接受性的研究增添了内容，为干预措施制定、宣传材料、教育和政策提供了参考。
