IntroductionIn the U.S., HPV vaccination of adolescent males remains low, despite the recommendation for routine vaccination. Although research has highlighted that health care provider (HCP) recommendation is very influential in HPV vaccine uptake, research on this topic in the male population is lacking. Accordingly, we used a qualitative approach to identify HCP knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding adolescent male HPV vaccination, one year, after routine vaccination of adolescent males was recommended.MethodA total of 20 U.S. pediatric HCPs participated in 20–30 min interviews about knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding male HPV vaccination. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and, analyzed using inductive content analysis.ResultsThe providers had been in practice for 1–35 years, 75% were female, and 75% were White. Opinions on HPV vaccination were shaped by knowledge/perception of the risks and benefits of vaccination. Although all providers frequently offered HPV vaccine to male patients, the strength and content of the offer varied greatly. Vaccination opinions determined what issues were emphasized in the vaccine offer (e.g., stressing herd immunity, discussing prevention of genital warts), while adolescent age influenced if and how they pitched their vaccine offer (e.g., HPV as a STI). Most providers agreed with the ACIP recommendations, however, several expressed that providers’ preexisting opinions might remain unchanged despite the recommendations. Consistent with the literature on determinants of HPV vaccination, providers believed that their own recommendation was a major factor in a family's decision to vaccinate. Barriers to vaccination included the “newness” and sexual nature of the vaccine, lack of insurance coverage, and the vaccine not being mandated.ConclusionsProviders’ opinions about, and approaches to offering, HPV vaccination to males were highly variable. Interventions designed to improve male HPV vaccination should focus on helping providers to routinely recommend the vaccine to all of their eligible patients, both males and females. 相似文献

IntroductionOffering HPV vaccine in settings beyond the traditional medical home holds promise for increasing the currently low levels of coverage. As adolescents frequently visit dentists, dental practices may be one such alternative vaccination setting. This study assessed parent attitudes about the roles dental providers could play in HPV prevention, including vaccine provision.MethodsIn September 2016, we conducted an online survey using a national sample (n = 1209) of U.S. parents of adolescent children aged 11–17. Adolescents’ mean age was 14; 53% were male and 62% were non-Hispanic white. We identified correlates of parents’ comfort with dentists as HPV vaccinators using multivariable logistic regression.ResultsOverall, 23% of parents reported that they would feel comfortable with their child receiving HPV vaccine from a dentist. In multivariable analyses, parents had greater odds of being comfortable if they had higher trust in their child’s primary care provider (OR = 1.27, 95% CI: 0.96–1.68) and lower odds if their child was female (OR = 0.65, 95% CI: 0.50–0.86). Convenience (20%) and oral health expertise (20%) were the most commonly cited benefits of dentists administering the vaccine. Wanting their child’s regular provider to administer and track vaccinations (61% and 58%, respectively), and lack of insurance coverage (30%) were the most commonly cited concerns. Parents expressed somewhat greater comfort with roles dentists might play in promoting HPV vaccination other than vaccine delivery, such as providing education.ConclusionsParents in this sample had low comfort with dentists as HPV vaccinators. Findings from this study highlight potential concerns to be addressed before dental practices consider offering HPV vaccination in the future. Further research should assess dentists’ perspectives and explore alternative roles for dental providers in HPV prevention efforts. 相似文献

To examine health providers’ perceived barriers, supports, and vaccination actions in delivering the HPV vaccine to females ages 9–17 in four states. Differences in providers’ HPV vaccination of pre-adolescents compared with older adolescents were explored. A random sample of 1,500 pediatricians, family physicians, gynecologists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants from four states were asked to complete a mail survey. Providers were recruited through state medical and nursing boards. The final sample included 227 respondents. Among those participants, health providers vaccinated older females (ages 13–17) at significantly higher rates than pre-adolescents (ages 9–12) in all four states. Providers who reported increased barriers to HPV vaccination were significantly less likely to vaccinate girls in either age group. The most frequent barriers reported by providers included the financial burden of the HPV vaccine and encountering patients (more often patients’ parents) who have negative perceptions of vaccine. Most common supports included a personal belief in the positive impact of the HPV vaccine, followed by providers feeling comfortable talking with parents about the sexual nature of the vaccine, and the importance of adhering to the CDC’s recommendations on HPV vaccination. Age of patient will likely influence providers’ HPV vaccination behaviors, particularly if parents have concerns about vaccinating their pre-adolescents. Providers can best serve their patients when they are aware of the potential barriers and supports that may influence their HPV vaccination behaviors. 相似文献

PurposeThis qualitative study investigated physician intention-to-recommend the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine to parents of adolescent girls in India. There are currently no data on attitudes to HPV vaccination among healthcare providers in India.MethodsBetween June and August 2008, 20 semistructured qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted among physicians from a range of specialties and practice settings in Mysore District, India. Physicians were interviewed about their specialty and the types of patients they saw in their practice, attitudes toward recommending HPV vaccination to parents of adolescent girls, perceived subjective norms surrounding the promotion of vaccines in their work settings, and their perceptions regarding self-efficacy in recommending the HPV vaccine.ResultsThe study found that knowledge about HPV infection and its relationship to cervical cancer was low among physicians across specialties. While most physicians expressed positive attitudes toward vaccination in general, and HPV vaccination in particular, the overwhelming majority believed that few of their patients would react positively to a vaccine recommendation. Physicians were concerned about talking to parents about their adolescent daughters' reproductive lives. Certain specialties, particularly obstetrician/gynecologists, suggested that recommending immunization was not appropriate in their work setting.ConclusionWith the HPV vaccine recently being approved in India, there is a strong need to provide more education for physicians about the relationship of HPV infection and cervical cancer and the benefits of vaccinating adolescent girls to prevent cervical cancer in the future. 相似文献

Parents have varied HPV vaccine communication needs, which presents a challenge for healthcare providers. To improve communication resources for providers, we sought to characterize HPV vaccination messages available in existing educational materials. In fall 2016, we searched PubMed, educational material clearinghouses, and Google for English language HPV vaccination messages. We extracted messages that a provider might use when raising the topic of HPV vaccination, answering common questions, and motivating vaccination. Two reviewers independently coded each message. The search identified 267 unique messages about HPV vaccination. Messages generally were long (mean no. of words = 44, standard deviation [SD] = 33) and required a high level of education to read (mean reading grade level = 10, SD = 3). Only 32% of messages were shorter than 25 words, and 12% had a readability at or below grade 6. Most frequent were messages to address common parent questions or concerns (62%); the most common topics were diseases prevented by HPV vaccine (18%) and safety and side effects (16%). Many messages included information about cancer prevention (26%) and same-day vaccination (13%). Few messages (6%) used a presumptive style to recommend HPV vaccination. In conclusion, available messages about HPV vaccination were markedly varied. We identified few messages that were both brief (to facilitate providers memorizing them) and accessible (to facilitate parents understanding them). Future research should identify which messages lead to HPV vaccine uptake. 相似文献

Background and methodology This study explored knowledge about human papillomavirus (HPV) and attitudes towards HPV vaccination among girls who were part of the 'catch-up' vaccination programme. Interviews were carried out between March and May 2009 with girls (aged 17-18 years) who had received HPV vaccine (n=5) and girls who had opted not to receive HPV vaccine (n=5). Interviews lasted approximately 25 minutes, were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The data were analysed qualitatively using framework analysis. Results Most girls were aware that HPV is sexually transmitted, but beyond this had limited understanding of HPV and HPV vaccination, and expressed a desire for further information. Girls were uncertain about the need for the vaccine both in terms of perceived risk (e.g. because they were not sexually active) and because of its novelty. Some had concerns about the efficacy and safety of the vaccine, while others were mistrusting of the information provided. Being embarrassed about discussing the vaccine with parents and practical barriers to vaccination were also discussed. Discussion and conclusions Understanding of HPV was poor, despite participants having been offered the vaccine. School-based interventions might be a useful supplement to leaflets, and should focus on improving knowledge of HPV and awareness of the purpose of HPV vaccination. 相似文献

In the United States, utilization of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine has lagged far below public health goals for achieving satisfactory population-level protection against HPV associated cancers. Oral health professionals such as dentists and dental hygienists are important stakeholders in primary prevention of HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer. We surveyed parents accompanying children to a local pediatric oral health clinic to ascertain their receptiveness to engaging their child’s oral health team in their child’s immunizations. Parents were generally receptive (86%) to discussing vaccines available for their children with both their child’s dentist and dental hygienist. The majority of parents (79%) reported that they would allow their child’s dentist to administer a vaccine to their child. Oral health providers are trusted healthcare professionals poised to make a positive impact on adolescent vaccination programs and they should be included in efforts to improve HPV vaccination rates. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to identify barriers to and facilitators of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in children aged 9–17 years across Texas. A literature review informed the development of a web-based survey designed for people whose work involves HPV vaccination in settings serving pediatric patients. The survey was used to examine current HPV vaccine recommendation practices among healthcare providers, barriers to HPV vaccination, reasons for parent/caregiver vaccine refusal, staff and family education practices, utilization of reminder and recall systems and status of vaccine administration (payment, ordering and stocking). 1132 responses were received representing healthcare providers, administrative and managerial staff. Respondents identified perceived barriers to HPV vaccination as parental beliefs about lack of necessity of vaccination prior to sexual debut, parental concerns regarding safety and/or side effects, parental perceptions that their child is at low risk for HPV-related disease, and parental lack of knowledge that the vaccine is a series of three shots. Of responding healthcare providers, 94 % (n = 582) reported they recommend the vaccine for 9–12 year olds; however, same-day acceptance of the vaccine is low with only 5 % (n = 31) of providers reporting the HPV vaccine is “always” accepted the same day the recommendation is made. Healthcare providers and multidisciplinary care teams in pediatric care settings must work to identify gaps between recommendation and uptake to maximize clinical opportunities. Training in methods to communicate an effective HPV recommendation and patient education tailored to address identified barriers may be helpful to reduce missed opportunities and increase on-time HPV vaccinations. 相似文献

BackgroundIncidence of high-grade cervical lesions (HGCL) has declined in the U.S following the introduction of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in 2006. However, many women continue to be diagnosed with HGCLs, including those eligible to receive the vaccine but did not. We determined self-reported barriers to and correlates of HPV vaccination in vaccine-eligible women diagnosed with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grades 2, 2/3, 3 and adenocarcinoma in situ (CIN2+).MethodsData from a statewide surveillance system in Connecticut for CIN 2+ during 2008–2015 were used for this analysis. Enhanced surveillance data were collected for women residing in New Haven County, including HPV vaccine history and demographic factors, through chart review and patient interviews. Women who reported being unvaccinated were asked why they did not receive the vaccine. We evaluated trends in reasons for not receiving the vaccine using a two-sided Cochran Armitage trend test. Log-binomial analysis was used to assess associations between sociodemographic characteristics and vaccination status.ResultsBetween 2008 and 2015, 1625 vaccine-eligible women were diagnosed with CIN2+, with 882 of these women reporting never receiving the HPV vaccine. The proportion of unvaccinated vaccine-eligible women did not significantly change from 2008 to 2015 (p = 0.18, range 49.1% to 60.0%). The most commonly reported reason for being unvaccinated was age/too old, followed by previous HPV diagnosis and no provider recommendation. Women who had public or no insurance were significantly more likely than privately insured women to report being unvaccinated (p = <0.001, p = 0.0034).ConclusionsCommonly cited barriers to vaccination, such as age/too old and previous HPV diagnosis, are not contraindications for vaccination. Furthermore, frequent reporting of no provider recommendation underscores the important role providers play in the immunization of their patients. These results indicate the need for greater efforts by providers to dispel myths about HPV vaccine eligibility and to promote vaccination for all of their eligible patients. 相似文献

Objective
To assess secondary, parent-reported outcomes from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a provider communication intervention aimed at improving adolescent HPV vaccination.Methods
A paper survey was provided to a random sample of 777 parents of adolescents from 8 control and 8 intervention clinics participating in the larger trial. Chi-square or Fisher’s exact tests assessed associations between study arm and providers’ HPV vaccine communication strategies, parents’ vaccination attitudes and parent’s HPV vaccine acceptance. Exploratory analyses assessed the association between receipt of ‘very strong’ or presumptive HPV vaccine recommendation (regardless of study arm) and parent’s perceptions about their providers’ vaccine communication, and parents’ attitudes and acceptance of the HPV vaccine.Results
The response rate was 47%. There were no differences between study arms in parents’ report of how their provider communicated about the HPV vaccine, parent vaccination attitudes, or uptake of the HPV vaccine. Receipt of a ‘very strong’ recommendation was associated with greater perceived urgency for getting vaccinated, greater trust in the information received from the provider, decreased vaccine hesitancy, and increased vaccine receipt. Receipt of a presumptive recommendation was associated with a lower likelihood of having concerns about the vaccine’s safety, lower vaccine hesitancy, and an increased likelihood of vaccination. Neither recommendation strategy appeared to negatively impact parents’ visit experience or trust in the information being provided. Similar results were found in sub-analyses of vaccine hesitant parents.Conclusions
Providing very strong, presumptive HPV vaccine recommendations is associated with improved parent vaccination attitudes and acceptance, and does not seem to have significant negative impacts, even among parents who are vaccine hesitant. Response bias in our sample could explain why there were no reported differences between study arms in parents’ reports of how their adolescent’s providers communicated about the HPV vaccine. 相似文献11.

Healthcare workers (HCWs) are often referred to as the most trusted source of vaccine-related information for their patients. However, the evidence suggests that a number of HCWs are vaccine-hesitant. This study consists of 65 semi-structured interviews with vaccine providers in Croatia, France, Greece, and Romania to investigate concerns HCWs might have about vaccination. The results revealed that vaccine hesitancy is present in all four countries among vaccine providers. The most important concern across all countries was the fear of vaccine side effects. New vaccines were singled out due to perceived lack of testing for vaccine safety and efficacy. Furthermore, while high trust in health authorities was expressed by HCWs, there was also strong mistrust of pharmaceutical companies due to perceived financial interests and lack of communication about side effects. The notion that it is a doctor’s responsibility to respond to hesitant patients was reported in all countries. Concerns were also seen to be country- and context-specific. Strategies to improve confidence in vaccines should be adapted to the specific political, social, cultural and economic context of countries. Furthermore, while most interventions focus on education and improving information about vaccine safety, effectiveness, or the need for vaccines, concerns raised in this study identify other determinants of hesitancy that need addressing. The representativeness of the views of the interviewed HCWs must be interpreted with caution. This a qualitative study with a small sample size that included geographical areas where vaccination uptake was lower or where hesitancy was more prevalent and it reflects individual participants’ beliefs and attitudes toward the topic. As HCWs have the potential of influencing patient vaccination uptake, it is crucial to improve their confidence in vaccination and engage them in activities targeting vaccine hesitancy among their patients. 相似文献

The success of vaccination programmes relies on high uptake and acceptance of vaccines, which is in part influenced by public trust in vaccines, providers, policy-makers and information. France is one of the countries in the world with the lowest confidence in vaccination, with parents expressing particular concerns about the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. This qualitative study explored the role of trust in HPV vaccination decision-making among mothers and adolescent girls in France. Semi-structured interviews and focus groups were conducted with 15–16-year-old adolescent girls and their mothers in Paris. A thematic analysis based on deductive and inductive coding was conducted. HPV vaccination decision-making was described as a complex and uncertain process, a possible consequence of erosion of trust in the vaccine, in healthcare professionals and health authorities, and in information itself. Due to public criticism of the vaccine and conflicting advice received from medical professionals, the vaccine was perceived as controversial. The mothers’ strong trust in doctors did not always increase HPV vaccine acceptance, as doctors themselves failed to recommend or recommended against the vaccine. Furthermore, the perceived mismanagement of previous health events tainted the mothers’ trust in health authorities. Contrastingly, while adolescents expressed trust in doctors and health authorities, their trust in their own mothers was stronger. A lack of exposure to positive sources of information (e.g. from doctors, schools or media) contributed to low awareness about HPV vaccination among adolescent girls. While both mothers and girls discussed the importance of trusting themselves, they also acknowledged being influenced by others around them as well as information, often negative, from the internet. Adolescent girls also expressed mistrust about information in general, explaining that any information can be manipulated. Low confidence in HPV vaccination in France can be explained by broader trust issues, which will require long-term efforts to address. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo describe knowledge about human papillomavirus (HPV) and HPV vaccination among women ages 19 to 26 seeking a variety of services at reproductive health centers. A secondary objective was to identify common sources of HPV information.MethodsTen reproductive health centers enrolled 365 women ages 19 to 26 in a randomized, controlled trial to determine the effect of automated reminder messages on HPV vaccine completion. Using responses from a 61-item self-administered baseline questionnaire completed before initiating the HPV vaccine, this subanalysis assessed participants' knowledge regarding HPV and the HPV vaccine.ResultsKnowledge of HPV prevention, transmission, and disease outcomes among the study population was highly variable. The mean HPV knowledge score was 11.0 of a possible 19 (SD = 3.8). Most participants (77%) had heard of the HPV vaccine before completing the questionnaire and indicated that their primary sources of information about the vaccine were television ads (61%), health care providers (52%), and friends (45%).ConclusionsDespite a relatively high awareness of the vaccine, specific knowledge regarding HPV and the HPV vaccine varied substantially and participant scores highlighted knowledge gaps among vaccine-eligible young women. Media, health care providers, and friends were identified by participants as sources of information and may influence their knowledge of HPV and the HPV vaccine. 相似文献

ObjectiveThis qualitative study aimed to identify doctors’ and nurses’ perceptions of patient-, provider-, and system-level factors associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine completion that may be targets for intervention.MethodsWe analyzed data from 61 qualitative interviews with pediatricians, family medicine physicians, and immunization nurses at medical centers that had the highest and lowest HPV vaccine completion rates within the same health care system.ResultsIn both groups, almost all providers reported strong support for the HPV vaccine. In detailing how they talk to parents and patients about the vaccine, more of the providers working at higher completion centers described using effective communication techniques, including engaging parents and patients in two-way conversation and demonstrating awareness of cultural and practical barriers to completion that families may face. Providers at higher completion centers were also more likely to depict a local medical culture supportive of and committed to HPV vaccine completion, with greater levels of proactivity and teamwork. In contrast, providers working at lower completion medical centers described a lack of proactivity, and the strategies they suggested to improve HPV vaccine completion tended to be approaches that someone other than medical providers would implement. The comments made by these providers sometimes reflected a level of negativity and judgment absent from the comments of providers at higher completion centers.ConclusionInterventions to improve HPV vaccination completion rates should address both individual- and system-level factors. Improving communication skills, encouraging a supportive medical culture, and addressing resource issues is likely to improve vaccine adherence. 相似文献

BackgroundThe contemporary crisis of trust in vaccines has severely impaired acceptance of the HPV vaccine, especially in France, where its uptake culminated at 23.7% in 2018 (complete course at age 16). Physicians’ recommendations strongly influence its acceptance/refusal. Our study sought to understand the decision processes leading physicians to recommend this vaccine (or not).MethodsQualitative interviews of French physicians (general practitioners, gynecologists, and pediatricians). We first randomly selected doctors in a national register of medical professionals and then resorted to snowballing to build a convenience sample. We coded the interviews in a thematic analysis built both inductively and deductively from our research questions and data.ResultsTwo thirds of the participants (19/28) were favorable to HPV vaccination, some (4) opposed it, while the others were hesitant about recommending it. In explaining their opinions, most participants mentioned that they trusted the stakeholders within the vaccination system: the less trust they had, the more critical they were of the vaccine and the more importance they attributed to patients’ opinions. We identified three different ways they interacted with patients on this topic: informing and convincing; adapting to patients’ opinions; refusing compromise about vaccination. Crossing these various themes, we found 5 types of physicians: dissidents (mistrustful of the healthcare system and HPV vaccine), hesitant (finding it difficult to make up their minds about this vaccination), laissez-faire (letting patients decide by themselves, but very favorable to HPV vaccination), educator (very favorable), and uncompromising vaccinators (refusing debate). Pediatricians were overrepresented among the latter two types.ConclusionsPhysicians’ judgment was influenced by their trust in the stakeholders involved in designing and implementing the HPV vaccination strategy. In this sense, doctors did not differ substantially from laypeople. They were, nonetheless, strongly influenced by their professional style and ethos. 相似文献

Cervical cancer is a preventable disease resulting from infection with high-risk types of sexually transmitted human papillomaviruses (HPVs). Public knowledge of HPVs and their link to cervical cancer is limited. Participation in cervical cancer prevention programs, including Pap and HPV screening and HPV vaccine acceptance, is crucial for limiting the incidence of cervical cancer. Hispanic women suffer the highest cervical cancer incidence rates in the United States. In this study, we conducted community-based focus groups with Hispanic women to explore knowledge and attitudes relating to cervical cancer, HPV, HPV testing, and HPV vaccination. Study findings suggest a need to increase public health literacy in relation to HPV, the link between HPV and cervical cancer, and HPV primary and secondary prevention options. Health care providers should be prepared to share information with patients that supports and promotes informed decision making about HPV testing and vaccines and their complementary roles in cervical cancer screening and prevention. 相似文献

Associations between parents’ satisfaction with provider communication and HPV vaccination behaviors
《Vaccine》2018,36(19):2637-2642
BackgroundDespite increasing awareness of the importance of a provider recommendation for HPV vaccine, the U.S. has yet to achieve the Healthy people 2020 goal of 80% series completion among adolescents. This failure indicates a need for further examination of the modifiable influences on parents’ decision-making. Healthcare providers can influence parents’ HPV vaccination decision-making, but little is known about parents’ perspectives on the counseling they receive. We sought to assess U.S. parents’ satisfaction with provider communication about HPV vaccine and associations with vaccination behaviors.MethodsParents of 11-to-17-year-old adolescents who discussed HPV vaccination with a healthcare provider at least once (n = 795) completed our online survey in Fall 2016. We assessed their satisfaction with the discussion using the HPV Vaccine Communication Satisfaction Scale (α = 0.94). We examined associations between satisfaction (categorized as low, moderate, or high), and three vaccination behaviors: refusal/delay, series initiation (≥1 dose), and continuation (≥2 doses among initiators) using multivariable logistic regression.ResultsMost parents reported high (36%) or moderate (38%) satisfaction with provider communication about HPV vaccination; fewer reported low (26%) satisfaction. Moderately satisfied parents (vs. low) had lower odds of refusal/delay (aOR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.38–0.89), and higher odds of initiation (aOR = 1.71, 95% CI:1.15–2.55) and continuation (aOR = 2.05, 95% CI: 1.24–3.40). The associations were stronger for highly satisfied parents (refusal/delay aOR = 0.45, 95% CI: 0.29–0.70, initiation aOR = 3.59, 95% CI: 2.23–5.78, and continuation aOR = 4.08, 95% CI: 2.38–7.01).ConclusionsOur study suggests that parent satisfaction with provider communication may play an important role in HPV vaccination decision-making. Yet, communication satisfaction has been largely unexamined in the HPV-vaccine literature to date. We introduce a brief, 7-item HPV Vaccine Communication Scale that can be used to assess parents’ level of satisfaction with their provider’s communication specific to HPV vaccine. We identify communication areas for providers to prioritize when discussing HPV vaccine with parents. 相似文献

BackgroundYoung sexual minority individuals have lower human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine completion rates than the general population, and little is known about how gender minority people perceive HPV vaccination. The aim of this study was to qualitatively identify patient-, provider-, and systems-level barriers and facilitators for HPV vaccination among sexual and gender minority (SGM) people.MethodsFifteen SGM-identified individuals, ages 23–26, were recruited at an urban community health center in Boston, MA, that specializes in care for SGM. Participants were enrolled in a study that utilized surveys and in-person focus groups. During focus groups, participants were asked to describe their perceived barriers and facilitators for completion of HPV vaccination.ResultsFourteen participants reported having a sexual minority identity, and five participants reported having a gender minority identity. Participants described the following factors influencing HPV vaccination: (1) at the patient level, low HPV-related knowledge and lack of engagement in care were associated with less vaccination, whereas fear of HPV-related disease motivated vaccination; (2) at the provider level, knowledge and SGM cultural-competence related to HPV was associated with patient willingness to be vaccinated; (3) at the systems level, SGM identity-affirming healthcare settings were associated with increased vaccination, whereas historical trends in HPV vaccine marketing selectively for cisgender women and lack of public awareness of HPV-related disease among SGM were associated with decreased vaccincation.ConclusionOur study identified internal and external barriers for HPV vaccination related among SGM patients. These findings highlight the need to increase public awareness about the risks of HPV-related disease among SGM and educate SGM youth about HPV-related disease and vaccine importance. Finally, this study supports the need for future interventions to cultivate SGM-competent providers and SGM identity-affirming healthcare settings as a way to increase HPV vaccination. 相似文献
