Few previous investigations on correlates of HPV vaccine uptake have included Hispanics, a group known to have a disproportionately high risk of cervical cancer.
Rural Hispanic mothers of daughters aged 9-17 (n=78) were recruited at local community events to participate in a standardized Spanish-language survey that examined factors related to vaccine uptake.
Approximately 35% of the mothers reported that their daughter had received at least one dose of the vaccine. Mothers who had heard of the HPV vaccine were more likely to have a vaccinated daughter (p<.01). Mothers who thought their daughter's father would approve were more likely to have a vaccinated daughter (p=.004). Contrary to expectation, parents who believed that only one injection is necessary were more likely to have a vaccinated daughter (p=.009).
HPV vaccine education programs that target both parents are needed to ensure that Hispanic parents receive the complete HPV vaccine regimen.
以往关于HPV疫苗接种相关因素的研究很少纳入西班牙裔人群,而该群体患宫颈癌的风险异常高。
在当地社区活动中招募了年龄在9至17岁女儿的农村西班牙裔母亲(n = 78),让她们参与一项标准化的西班牙语调查,该调查考察了与疫苗接种相关的因素。
约35%的母亲报告称其女儿至少接种了一剂疫苗。听说过HPV疫苗的母亲,其女儿接种疫苗的可能性更大(p <.01)。认为女儿的父亲会同意的母亲,其女儿接种疫苗的可能性更大(p =.004)。与预期相反,认为只需接种一针的父母,其女儿接种疫苗的可能性更大(p =.009)。
需要针对父母双方开展HPV疫苗教育项目,以确保西班牙裔父母了解完整的HPV疫苗接种方案。
