该研究旨在调查多民族、多宗教和多文化社会中人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗接种的相关问题。对 20 名医生进行了定性深入访谈研究。医生们认为 HPV 疫苗推荐的成功率非常低。许多人表示不愿意向青春期前的儿童提供疫苗。疫苗接种最显着的障碍是疫苗的高昂成本。符合条件的疫苗接种者的父母担心新疫苗的功效和副作用，而成年女性对 HPV 感染的风险认知较低。在我们的多种族、多宗教和多文化社区中，确定了 HPV 疫苗接种的促进剂和抑制剂。这项研究表明，需要加强 HPV 疫苗接种所需的基础设施，并专门针对服务不足的贫困妇女。
The study was conducted to investigate issues surrounding human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine delivery in a multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-cultural society. A qualitative in-depth interview study was conducted with a sample of 20 physicians. Physicians described the success of HPV vaccines recommendation as very poor. Many expressed reluctance to offer the vaccine to preadolescents. The most notable barrier to vaccination was the vaccine’s high cost. Parents of eligible vaccinees were concerned about the efficacy and side effects of the new vaccine, while adult women have low risk perception for HPV infection. Promoters and inhibitors of HPV vaccination in our multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-cultural community were identified. This study suggests the need to strengthen the infrastructure necessary for HPV vaccine delivery and to specifically target poor underserved women.
