Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Awareness, Uptake, and Parental and Health Care Provider Communication Among 11‐ to 18‐Year‐Old Adolescents in a Rural Appalachian Ohio County in the United States

Abstract: Despite the strong link between parental and health care provider communication and HPV vaccine uptake, the levels of communication remain low in this Appalachian population. These findings suggest the need for public health education programs targeting the health care providers, the parents, and the adolescents to improve awareness, knowledge, and HPV vaccine uptake.

“…This significant difference was found when the outcome was 1 dose, 2 doses, or fully immunized in the model and therefore was a difference in terms of intention to vaccinate. Having lower rates in boys than girls is consistent with multiple jurisdictions in the United States [15,17,28]. In these studies, none of the adolescent boy groups achieved an initiation rate higher than 21% whilst the vaccine initiation rate in the adolescent girl groups ranged from 27% to 57%.…”

“…This disparity remained after controlling for other factors. Racial and ethnic disparities in HPV vaccination were similar to those among female adolescents (22). HPV vaccination coverage was generally higher among teens living in poverty, which might reflect the VFC program’s (24) effectiveness at reaching these young persons.…”

“…The results from previous research and our study reflect the adoption of ACIP recommendations during this period. Studies have found that HPV vaccine awareness was lower among male adolescents and their parents (22) which may impact uptake of this vaccine. Continued monitoring will determine if HPV vaccination coverage continues to increase or levels off as has been observed for HPV vaccination of females (15, 23).…”

“…52,63 Provider communication was consistently associated with patients' sex such that providers' recommendation intentions and behavior were more supportive of HPV vaccination for girls versus boys. 10,12,24,25,29,33,37,44,55,57,58,60,64,65 For example, the 2014 NIS-Teen found that 64% of age-eligible girls had received a provider recommendation compared to just 42% of boys. 10 All but one study examining patients' race/ethnicity suggested disparities in provider communication with parents of African American and Hispanic adolescents less often discussing HPV vaccine with a provider or receiving HPV recommendations than parents of non-Hispanic White adolescents.…”
