To examine the attitudes toward human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination among young men from African American, Haitian, Caucasian, and Latino backgrounds.
We used in-person surveys at an urban teaching hospital from 2010 to 2012 to examine the racial and ethnic differences in the perceived benefits and barriers to HPV vaccination and vaccine mandate acceptance among 18- to 22-year-old African American, Haitian, Caucasian, and Latino men.
A total of 89 men participated (35% African American, 29% Haitian, 20% Latino, and 16% white). Participants from all ethnic groups perceived benefits to HPV vaccination but differed in their perceptions of barriers to vaccination as well as their acceptance of a vaccine mandate.
Culturally competent educational messages may overcome ethnic differences in the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors regarding vaccination among college-aged men from an urban population.
研究非裔美国人、海地人、白种人和拉丁裔背景的年轻男性对人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗接种的态度。
2010年至2012年期间，我们在一家城市教学医院进行了面对面调查，以研究18至22岁的非裔美国、海地、白种和拉丁裔男性在HPV疫苗接种的感知益处、障碍以及对疫苗强制接种的接受度方面的种族和民族差异。
共有89名男性参与（35%为非裔美国人，29%为海地人，20%为拉丁裔，16%为白人）。所有种族群体的参与者都认识到HPV疫苗接种的益处，但在对疫苗接种障碍的认知以及对疫苗强制接种的接受度方面存在差异。
具有文化适应性的教育信息可能会克服城市人口中大学年龄男性在疫苗接种态度、信念和行为方面的种族差异。
