研究目的：HPV疫苗于2009年被批准用于男性。我们的研究目的是检查目前的意图接种儿子和女儿之间的低收入women.Design：一项调查管理到322名母亲与儿子或女儿9-26岁检查性别差异的意图接种自己的孩子。设置：五个公共生殖健康诊所在德克萨斯州东南部，在2010年8月和2011年5月之间。参与者：研究人群包括322名9-26岁有≥ 1个孩子的妇女。主要结果测量：HPV疫苗的知识，让儿子或女儿接受HPV疫苗的意图，以及不给儿子或女儿接种疫苗的原因。只有一个女儿的妇女比有儿子的妇女更愿意为孩子接种疫苗（71%比44%，P < 0.001）。女儿和儿子的母亲也观察到类似的情况（67%对39%，P < 0.001）。与女儿相比，儿子的母亲不太可能认为他们的孩子有HPV的风险（27%比12%，P = 0.028），而那些女儿更关心的副作用（54%比33%，P = 0.008）。结论：需要教育干预，以解决母亲的重要性，他们的儿子和女儿接种HPV疫苗。
Study Objective: The HPV vaccine was approved for use in males in 2009. The purpose of our study was to examine current intentions to vaccinate sons and daughters among low income women.Design: A survey was administered to 322 mothers with a son or daughter 9-26 years of age to examine gender differences in intent to vaccinate their children.Setting: Five public reproductive health clinics in southeast Texas, between August, 2010 and May, 2011.Participants: The study population consisted of 322 women with >= 1 child 9-26 years of age.Main Outcome Measures: Knowledge of HPV vaccine, intention to have son or daughter receive the HPV vaccine, and reasons for not vaccinating son or daughter.Results: Women with only a daughter were more willing than those with a son to vaccinate their child (71% vs 44%, P < 0.001). A similar scenario was observed for mothers of both daughters and sons (67% vs 39%, P < 0.001). Mothers of sons as compared to daughters were less likely to consider their child at risk of HPV (27% vs 12%, P = 0.028) while those with daughters were more concerned about side effects (54% vs 33%, P = 0.008).Conclusion: Educational interventions are needed to address the importance to mothers of vaccinating both their sons and daughters against HPV.
