人类乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗，许可用于9-26岁的人，在性活动开始前接种最有效。HPV会导致生殖器疣，与几种癌症有关，并且不成比例地影响种族和少数民族。父母通常不知道男性HPV疫苗的信息，可能会激励他们让他们的青春期前的儿子接种疫苗是unexplored.METHODS：信息促进青春期前的男孩接种疫苗的设计和测试在2009年和2010年。通过北卡罗来纳州的三个教堂和一所中学招募了29名11-12岁男孩的黑人父母，对他们进行了五个焦点小组的研究，并对一所大学青少年健康诊所的100名9-13岁男孩的父母进行了种族多样性的采访。一个恒定的比较方法被用来编码成绩单和解释的主题。定量资料的差异性用卡方检验、t检验或方差分析进行分析。结果：焦点组家长对男性HPV知识了解不多。尽管担心安全性和成本，但父母支持为儿子接种疫苗。他们希望在激励材料中看到种族多样性和父母双方。在采访中，89%的父母表示从未听说过男性HPV疫苗。最大比例的人说，强调HPV感染的流行和可能的后果的信息是最激励（32%）;最大比例（43%）的设计青睐显示两个parents.Conclusions：消息，可能最激励父母让青春期前的男孩接种HPV疫苗的重点是感染风险，包括父母与他们的儿子的图像。
CONTEXT: Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, licensed for use in 9-26-year-olds, is most effective when given before sexual activity begins. HPV causes genital warts, is associated with several cancers and disproportionately affects racial and ethnic minorities. Parents are typically unaware of male HPV vaccine; messages that might motivate them to get their preteenage sons vaccinated are unexplored.METHODS: Messages promoting vaccination of preteenage boys were designed and tested in 2009 and 2010. Five focus groups were conducted with 29 black parents of 11-12-year-old boys, recruited through three churches and a middle school in North Carolina, and a racially diverse sample of 100 parents of 9-13-year-old boys in a universitybased adolescent health clinic was interviewed. A constant comparison method was used to code transcripts and interpret themes. Chi-square and t tests or analyses of variance were used to assess diff erences in quantitative data.RESULTS: Focus group parents knew little about HPV in males. Although concerned about safety and cost, parents supported vaccination for their sons. They wanted to see racial diversity and both parents in motivational materials. In interviews, 89% of parents reported never having heard of male HPV vaccine. The largest proportion said that a message stressing the prevalence and possible consequences of HPV infection was the most motivating (32%); the design favored by the largest proportion (43%) showed two parents.CONCLUSIONS: Messages that may most motivate parents to get preteenage boys vaccinated against HPV focus on infection risk and include images of parents with their sons.
