Little is known about the effect of language preference, socioeconomic status, and health care access on human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. We examined these factors in Hispanic parents of daughters aged 11 to 17 years in California (n = 1090). Spanish-speaking parents were less likely to have their daughters vaccinated than were English speakers (odds ratio [OR] = 0.55; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.31, 0.98). Adding income and access to multivariate analyses made language nonsignificant (OR = 0.68; 95% CI = 0.35, 1.29). This confirms that health care use is associated with language via income and access. Low-income Hispanics, who lack access, need information about free HPV vaccination programs.
人们对语言偏好、社会经济地位和医疗保健可及性对人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗接种的影响知之甚少。我们研究了加利福尼亚州 11 至 17 岁的西班牙裔女孩的父母（n = 1090）的这些因素。与说英语的父母相比，讲西班牙语的父母让女儿接种疫苗的可能性较小（优势比 [OR] = 0.55；95%置信区间 [CI] = 0.31，0.98）。将收入和获得情况纳入多变量分析后，语言就变得不再重要（OR = 0.68；95% CI = 0.35，1.29）。这证实了医疗保健的使用通过收入和可及性与语言相关。缺乏途径和资源的低收入西班牙裔群体需要了解有关 HPV 疫苗接种免费计划的信息。
