在农村和服务欠缺地区，现有的差异已得到充分研究，但目前家长对 HPV 疫苗接种的看法尚不清楚。这项研究是根据对密歇根州中部和北部社区活动中有资格接种 HPV 疫苗的儿童家长进行的一项调查而设计的。这些数据表明，成功接种疫苗的最重要因素是与 PCP 的对话。然而，当考虑到这些父母的地理位置时，非城市父母更关心疫苗的潜在安全性和有效性。这强调了与家长进行有针对性的对话以满足他们的需求和担忧的重要性，从而实现最高的疫苗接种率，并最终预防与 HPV 相关的宫颈癌。
Among rural and underserved areas, existing disparities are very well studied, but current perceptions of HPV vaccination among parents are unknown. This study was designed using a survey administered to parents of children eligible for the HPV vaccine at community events throughout Central and Northern Michigan. These data suggest that the most important factor leading to successful vaccination is a conversation with a PCP. However, when the geographic location of these parents is considered, non-metropolitan parents were more concerned with the underlying safety and efficacy with the vaccine. This underscores the importance of tailoring a conversation with parents to meet their needs and concerns to lead to highest vaccination rates, and ultimately prevent HPV-related cervical cancers.
