“…First, it may be that non-metropolitan doctors for low-SES mothers are more likely than doctors of high-SES mothers to view the daughters of these women as having greater risk for contracting HPV due to relatively younger ages at first sexual intercourse and greater likelihood of sexual risk-taking among low-SES girls, especially in rural areas [3, 14]. They may therefore be more likely to recommend vaccination for those girls.…”

Objectives This study is among the first to examine metropolitan status differences in human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine initiation and completion among United States adolescent girls and is unique in its focus on how maternal socioeconomic status and health care access moderate metropolitan status differences in HPV vaccination. Methods Using cross-sectional data from 3573 girls aged 12–17 in the U.S. from the 2008–2010 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, we estimate main and interaction effects from binary logistic regression models to identify subgroups of girls for which there are metropolitan versus non-metropolitan differences in HPV vaccination. Results Overall 34 % of girls initiated vaccination, and 19 % completed all three shots. On average, there were no metropolitan status differences in vaccination odds. However, there were important subgroup differences. Among low-income girls and girls whose mothers did not complete high school, those in non-metropolitan areas had significantly higher probability of vaccine initiation than those in metropolitan areas. Among high-income girls and girls whose mothers completed college, those in metropolitan areas had significantly higher odds of vaccine initiation than those in non-metropolitan areas. Moreover, among girls whose mothers experienced a medical cost barrier, non-metropolitan girls were less likely to initiate vaccination compared to metropolitan girls. Conclusions Mothers remain essential targets for public health efforts to increase HPV vaccination and combat cervical cancer. Public health experts who study barriers to HPV vaccination and physicians who come into contact with mothers should be aware of group-specific barriers to vaccination and employ more tailored efforts to increase vaccination.

“…A recently presented abstract has demonstrated that women with low SES and ovarian cancer were less likely to receive primary surgery or chemotherapy [44]. The absence of socioeconomic data in disparity research is problematic as it can lead to the reification of race [45].…”

“…22 Evidence shows that racial and ethnic factors may increase the risk of medical illness. It is widely reported 73–75 that certain medical conditions or diseases are more prevalent in particular ethnic communities. For example, minorities and immigrants often have more complicated medical problems, which may not respond easily to standard treatment regimens.…”

Abstract: These complex patterns defy easy generalization and illustrate why US cancer data should be stratified by socioeconomic position, along with race/ethnicity and gender, so as to improve cancer surveillance, research, and control.
