Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination coverage among adolescent females is well below national public health goals. Many known barriers to HPV vaccine receipt can be addressed in parent-physician conversations. This study sought to explore parent experiences and attitudes related to HPV vaccination of adolescent girls, focused on interactions with providers. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of parents using a nationally representative online panel. Among parents with ≥1 daughter aged 11 to 17 years, provider recommendations for HPV vaccine and specified age to begin the HPV vaccine series were associated with HPV vaccine status. Parents who reported their daughters were unlikely to complete the HPV series were more likely to have had no discussion of HPV vaccine with the provider. Efforts to increase HPV vaccination rates among adolescent females should continue to focus on improving provider discussion of HPV vaccine.
青春期女性的人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)疫苗接种覆盖率远低于国家公共卫生目标。许多已知的HPV疫苗接种障碍可在家长与医生的对话中得到解决。本研究旨在探讨家长与青春期女孩HPV疫苗接种相关的经历和态度,重点关注与医疗服务提供者的互动。我们使用具有全国代表性的在线小组对家长进行了横断面调查。在有≥1名年龄在11至17岁女儿的家长中,医疗服务提供者对HPV疫苗的推荐以及开始HPV疫苗接种系列的指定年龄与HPV疫苗接种状况相关。报告其女儿不太可能完成HPV疫苗接种系列的家长,更有可能未与医疗服务提供者讨论过HPV疫苗。提高青春期女性HPV疫苗接种率的努力应继续侧重于改善医疗服务提供者对HPV疫苗的讨论。
