背景：各州和国家政策制定者正在积极讨论合法强制接种人乳头瘤病毒 (HPV) 疫苗的优点。方法：这是一项横断面试点研究，旨在确定 170 名高中女生与 HPV 疫苗接种相关的因素以及女生关于疫苗接种的决策。结果：总体而言，48.4% 的人参与了疫苗接种决策，37.8% 的人接种了疫苗，但存在显着的疫苗相关知识差距。女孩往往缺乏做出疫苗决定所需的基本知识。疫苗接种与年龄较大、疫苗信息来源和较高的疫苗相关知识显着相关，但与 HPV 相关疾病的风险估计、宗教或医疗保健就诊频率无关。结论：本文描述了第一项研究，该研究确定了加州高中女生与 HPV 疫苗接种相关的因素，并记录了很高比例的高中女生参与疫苗接种决策。这些发现对青少年健康教育和护理实践具有影响，并提供了与当前有关强制疫苗接种的公共政策辩论相关的新信息。 J 儿科保健。 (2010) 24, 14-24。
Background: State and national policymakers are actively debating the merits of legally mandating the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.Methods: This was a cross-sectional pilot study designed to identify factors associated with HPV vaccination in 170 high school girls and the decision making by girls about vaccination.Results: Overall, 48.4% participated in the vaccination decision making and 37.8% were vaccinated, but there were significant vaccine-related knowledge gaps. Girls often lacked basic knowledge necessary to make vaccine decisions. Vaccination was significantly associated with older age, vaccine information sources, and higher vaccine-related knowledge, but not with estimates of risk of HPV-related diseases, religion, or frequency of health care visits.Conclusions: This paper describes the first study to have identified factors associated with HPV vaccination among California high school girls and to have documented that a high percentage are participating in the vaccination decision making. These findings have implications for adolescent health education and nursing practice and provide new information relevant to the current public policy debates about mandatory vaccination.
