在快速增长的拉丁裔儿童人口中，HPV 疫苗接种率仍然很低，而我们继续观察到拉丁裔人口中与 HPV 相关的癌症存在巨大差异。在这项研究中，我们试图阐明拉丁裔移民父母为孩子接种 HPV 疫苗的障碍。五个焦点小组针对尚未开始接种 HPV 疫苗系列的未成年人（即 9-17 岁）的拉丁裔移民父母进行。焦点小组发现了三个主要发现：(1) 对 HPV 和 HPV 疫苗的认识和知识水平较低，(2) 家长对父母能为符合条件的孩子接种疫苗的信心很高，以及 (3) 缺乏提供者的建议作为疫苗接种的主要障碍。拉丁裔移民父母的孩子可以从更多的 HPV 疫苗提供者推荐中受益，同时向父母提供量身定制的 HPV 信息。
HPV vaccination rates remain low in the fast growing Latino children population while we continue to observe large HPV-associated cancer disparities in the Latino population. In this study, we sought to elucidate Latino immigrant parents’ barriers to obtaining the HPV vaccine for their children. Five focus groups were conducted with Latino immigrant parents of minors (i.e., 9–17 year old) who had not yet initiated the HPV vaccine series. Three major findings were identified from the focus groups: (1) low levels of awareness and knowledge of HPV and the HPV vaccine, (2) high confidence that parent can get the vaccine for their eligible child and (3) lack of provider recommendation as the main barrier to vaccination. Children of Latino immigrant parents could benefit from increased provider recommendation for the HPV vaccine while providing tailored HPV information to parents.
