“…Moreover, a literature review examining the role of trust on HPV vaccine uptake in racial and ethnic minorities reported that HPV vaccine uptake was lower in communities of color who mistrust government agencies, healthcare providers, or pharmaceutical companies [ 28 ]. A study examining HPV vaccine acceptance in Hispanic males reported that recommendations from a healthcare provider predicted HPV vaccine acceptance ( β = 0.11, t = 2.01, p = 0.048) [ 29 ]. Improvement in the trust that individuals have towards healthcare providers, government agencies, and pharmaceutical companies seems crucial for increasing vaccinations.…”

The Borderplex region has been profoundly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Borderplex residents live in low socioeconomic (SES) neighborhoods and lack access to COVID-19 testing. The purpose of this study was two-fold: first, to implement a COVID-19 testing program in the Borderplex region to increase the number of residents tested for COVID-19, and second, to administer a community survey to identify trusted sources of COVID-19 information and factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine uptake. A total of 4071 community members were tested for COVID-19, and 502 participants completed the survey. COVID-19 testing resulted in 66.8% (n = 2718) positive cases. The community survey revealed that the most trusted sources of COVID-19 information were doctors or health care providers (67.7%), government websites (e.g., CDC, FDA, etc.) (41.8%), and the World Health Organization (37.8%). Logistic regression models revealed several statistically significant predictors of COVID-19 vaccine uptake such as having a trusted doctor or health care provider, perceiving the COVID-19 vaccine to be effective, and perceiving that the COVID-19 vaccine does not cause side-effects. Findings from the current study highlight the need for utilizing an integrated, multifactorial approach to increase COVID-19 testing and to identify factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine uptake in underserved communities.

“…Previous data show African American populations are open to vaccination, particularly for cancer prevention, but voice poor awareness and experiencing stigma, while vaccine uptake is poor across minority populations generally [ 15 , 57 ]. Discrimination regarding HPV status in the Hispanic population was also apparent; healthcare providers are less likely to discuss HPV vaccines with Hispanic populations whose preferred language is Spanish [ 58 ], despite healthcare provider recommendation being as critical for uptake in this population as others [ 59 ]. Hispanic MSM voice openness to discussing HPV vaccines with LGBTQ-friendly healthcare providers, though not without concerns of feeling overwhelmed if coupled with conversations about HIV, as well as fearing stigma [ 60 ].…”

People with HIV (PWH) and their sexual partners have increased risk of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Despite recommended HPV vaccination for PWH aged 18–26 years, vaccination rates among PWH remain low. This qualitative study used the Information–Motivation–Behavioral Skills (IMBS) model to identify factors influencing the decisions of PWH around promoting HPV vaccination to their sexual partners. Fourteen PWH with diverse sociodemographic characteristics participated in four focus-group discussions. Data were analyzed using thematic content analysis; codes and themes included IMBS constructs. For the information construct, the need for improved HPV education emerged as the driving factor for HPV vaccine uptake and discussing HPV vaccines with partners. Focal reasons for being unvaccinated included low knowledge of HPV risk, asymptomatic cancer-causing HPV, HPV vaccines, and vaccine eligibility. Salient factors in the motivation construct included the preventive benefits of HPV vaccination to both self and sexual partners. Salient factors in the behavioral skills construct included: accessing vaccine, low self-confidence and skills for promoting vaccination, relationships with sexual partners, partners’ vaccine hesitancy, and stigma. Race/ethnicity impacted HPV vaccination promotion; important determinants included perceptions of HPV-related diseases as “White people’s diseases” among Black people, and discrimination against those with HPV-related diseases among the Hispanic population.

“…Assessing family-held beliefs about vaccines appears to be critical for understanding how attitudes are shaped in Hispanic families. In a study by Frietze et al [19], a strong association emerged when examining personal attitudes about vaccines and family attitudes about vaccines (r = 0.82, p < 0.001). We further explore the associations between personal and family attitudes about vaccines while investigating other culture-based factors that may be unique to Hispanics of Mexican origin including: 1) language, to explore differences between English and Spanish speakers; 2) household size, to explore the impact of larger families; 3) familism, given that Hispanics value family-cohesiveness; 4) religiosity, given that religion is valued in Hispanic culture; 5) community health stigma, to explore the impact of discrimination in one's own cultural group.…”

Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection and is associated with many types of cancers that disproportionately impact Hispanics. An HPV vaccine is available for individuals ages 9—45 that can prevent up to 90% of HPV-associated cancers. The current study investigates factors associated with accepting the HPV vaccine in a predominately Hispanic community. Methods A cross-sectional study design with an online questionnaire was used to collect data from a community sample of adults between the ages 18–65 residing in a U.S./Mexico border city, El Paso, Texas. Theory-based factors (e.g., the Health Belief Model), culture-based factors (e.g., familism), and trusted sources of information were examined as predictors of HPV-vaccine acceptance (HPV-VA) and HPV-vaccine uptake (HPV-VU). Results Community members (N = 602, Mage = 34.65, SD = 9.79) who were predominately Hispanic (89.4%) and female (79.6%) participated in the study. Linear regression models revealed that HPV-VA was associated with household size, primary language, engagement in organizational activities, health-related community stigma, government trust, and the HBM theory-based factors: perceived benefits, perceived harm, and perceived severity. Logistic regression analyses revealed that HPV-VU was associated with household size, engagement in non-organizational activities, HPV trusted sources of information, and perceived safety. Conclusions Adequate HPV vaccination uptake among all vaccine-eligible Hispanics is an important step to lessen the HPV-attributed cancer burden. Our hypothesis that theory-based factors would be associated with HPV-VA and HPV-VU was supported. Our findings have implications for designing trusted, theory-based, and culturally sensitive health communications and interventions to promote vaccines in minority underrepresented communities.
