BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Hispanic immigrants (HIs) in the U.S.A. are disproportionately affected by cervical cancer compared to other groups, at least partly due to low HPV vaccination rates. The aim of this study was to investigate strategies to improve HPV vaccine attitudes and intent of HIs in the U.S.A. by developing and testing the effectiveness of video-based interventions. METHODS: This study employed a two-phase mixed-methods approach. In the first phase, focus groups with new and established HIs explored perspectives, concerns about HPV vaccination, types of information to include in a video intervention, and how an effective intervention should be designed. Findings from the focus groups guided the creation of seven short educational videos, including a summary video and a testimonial-based video, addressing key questions about HPV and its vaccine. The second phase, which involved a nationwide survey of 1500 Spanish-speaking HIs, revealed a significant change in overall HPV vaccine attitude generally, and a significant increase in both HPV vaccine intent and attitudes among parents of unvaccinated children. RESULTS: Regression analysis revealed general vaccine attitudes (β = 0.620, < 0.001), English proficiency (β = 0.066, = 0.01), and gender (β = -0.072, = 0.002), as significant predictors of attitudinal changes. Notably, females exhibited less favorable post-intervention attitudes compared to males. Additionally, perceived care from video creators was a strong predictor of normalized gains in vaccine attitudes (β = 0.270, < 0.001). Video content effectiveness varied; the video addressing vaccine side effects demonstrated the highest impact on attitude improvement. Testimonials and the summary video were also effective in fostering positive changes in attitudes. Despite differences in trust levels between new and established immigrants, both groups valued culturally tailored, Spanish-language information from credible sources. CONCLUSION: Addressing language and cultural barriers can improve trust in healthcare interventions among Hispanic immigrants in the U.S.A. Public health initiatives should consider these factors to more effectively reduce HPV vaccine hesitancy in this population.
背景/目的:与其他群体相比,美国的西班牙裔移民(HIs)受宫颈癌的影响尤为严重,至少部分原因是HPV疫苗接种率较低。本研究的目的是通过开发和测试基于视频的干预措施的有效性,调查改善美国西班牙裔移民对HPV疫苗的态度和接种意愿的策略。 方法:本研究采用两阶段混合方法。在第一阶段,与新移民和已定居的西班牙裔移民进行焦点小组讨论,探讨他们对HPV疫苗接种的看法、担忧、视频干预中应包含的信息类型,以及如何设计有效的干预措施。焦点小组的结果指导制作了七个简短的教育视频,包括一个总结视频和一个基于推荐的视频,解决了有关HPV及其疫苗的关键问题。第二阶段对1500名讲西班牙语的西班牙裔移民进行了全国性调查,结果显示总体上对HPV疫苗的态度有显著变化,未接种疫苗儿童的父母对HPV疫苗的接种意愿和态度也有显著提高。 结果:回归分析显示,一般疫苗态度(β = 0.620,< 0.001)、英语水平(β = 0.066,= 0.01)和性别(β = -0.072,= 0.002)是态度变化的显著预测因素。值得注意的是,与男性相比,女性在干预后的态度不太积极。此外,对视频创作者的感知关怀是疫苗态度标准化增益的有力预测因素(β = 0.270,< 0.001)。视频内容的有效性各不相同;关于疫苗副作用的视频对态度改善的影响最大。推荐视频和总结视频在促进态度的积极变化方面也很有效。尽管新移民和已定居移民之间的信任水平存在差异,但两组都重视来自可靠来源的符合文化习惯的西班牙语信息。 结论:解决语言和文化障碍可以提高美国西班牙裔移民对医疗保健干预措施的信任。公共卫生倡议应考虑这些因素,以更有效地减少该人群对HPV疫苗的犹豫。
