A multi-site study was conducted to assess HPV vaccine initiation and correlates of initiation among Latina adolescents. The study was a collaboration of the CDC/NCI-funded Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network. Data were collected in 2009 from caregivers of Latina adolescents recruited from Los Angeles Country (n = 274), Washington State (Yakima Valley region; n = 90), and Texas (Houston, n = 38; Lower Rio Grande Valley, n = 42). A set of 24 survey items assessed use of the HPV vaccine and awareness, attitudes and barriers to vaccination. Moderate levels of vaccine awareness among caregivers and low uptake of the vaccine (26-37%) among girls were observed. Attitudinal barriers such as concerns about negative effects of the vaccine on daughter's sexual behavior, fertility, and future health were infrequently endorsed. Efforts to understand regional similarities and differences may help inform interventions.
开展了一项多地点研究，以评估拉丁裔青少年中HPV疫苗接种起始情况及其相关因素。该研究是由疾病控制与预防中心/国立癌症研究所资助的癌症预防与控制研究网络的合作项目。2009年从洛杉矶县（n = 274）、华盛顿州（亚基马谷地区；n = 90）和得克萨斯州（休斯顿，n = 38；下里奥格兰德河谷，n = 42）招募的拉丁裔青少年的看护者处收集数据。一组24个调查项目评估了HPV疫苗的使用情况以及对疫苗接种的认知、态度和障碍。观察到看护者对疫苗的认知处于中等水平，而女孩中疫苗接种率较低（26 - 37%）。诸如担心疫苗对女儿性行为、生育能力和未来健康有负面影响等态度障碍很少被认可。了解地区异同的努力可能有助于为干预措施提供信息。
