This study describes attitudes and social and environmental factors that affect African American parents' intent to vaccinate their daughters against human papillomavirus (HPV). Thirty African American parents of daughters aged nine to 17 years and no history of HPV infection completed semi-structured interviews. Interviews addressed factors that influenced intent to vaccinate, perception of community norms related to vaccination, vaccination scenarios involving place of vaccination, and vaccination prior to or after the child's initiation of sexual activity. A recurring theme was the influence of physician recommendation on African American parents' intent to obtain HPV vaccination for their daughters. Most parents reported that they could overcome barriers to vaccination, except vaccine costs and lack of insurance. While religious beliefs were important to parents, they reported that they would not interfere with vaccination decisions; fears of early sexuality due to vaccination were limited. The implications of these findings are discussed.
本研究描述了影响非裔美籍父母为其女儿接种人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗意愿的态度、社会及环境因素。30位女儿年龄在9至17岁且无HPV感染史的非裔美籍父母完成了半结构化访谈。访谈涉及影响接种意愿的因素、对与疫苗接种相关的社区规范的认知、涉及接种地点的疫苗接种场景，以及孩子开始性行为之前或之后的疫苗接种情况。一个反复出现的主题是医生的建议对非裔美籍父母为其女儿接种HPV疫苗意愿的影响。大多数父母表示，除了疫苗费用和缺乏保险外，他们能够克服疫苗接种的障碍。虽然宗教信仰对父母很重要，但他们表示不会干扰疫苗接种决定；因接种疫苗而对过早性行为的担忧有限。本文讨论了这些研究结果的意义。
