“…Furthermore, consistent with previous research conducted with other racial/ethnic groups [45][46][47][48][49], additional barriers identified to vaccination include confusion about whether male adolescents should also be vaccinated [31][32][33][34], a child's age (too young) [29,[31][32][33][34]36,37], cost (e.g., not free, high cost of deductible) [29,31,32], and social norms [29,[31][32][33][34]36,37].…”

Exploring HPV Knowledge, Awareness, Beliefs, Attitudes, and Vaccine Acceptability of Latino Fathers Living in the United States: An Integrative Review

et al. 2019

Objective: To conduct an integrative review to identify and synthesize studies exploring human papillomavirus (HPV) knowledge, awareness, beliefs, attitudes, and acceptability of the HPV vaccine among Latino fathers living in the United States. Methods: The review methodology was informed by those developed by Whittemore and Knafl, which allow for the inclusion of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods studies. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, five electronic databases (PubMed, Medline, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Science Direct) were searched for peer-reviewed, full-text studies published in English with samples that included Latino fathers and examined knowledge, awareness, beliefs, attitudes about the HPV and the HPV vaccines. Studies that did not provide information on the inclusion of fathers in the sample were excluded. Identified eligible studies were analyzed and synthesized using the matrix method. Results: Eleven eligible studies were identified. Most (n=10) included mothers and fathers. One study included only fathers, and this study determined that although fathers held positive attitudes toward the HPV vaccine, a notable number of participants were unsure of or had not formed an opinion about the HPV vaccine. Fathers felt that a recommendation from their child's physician would impact whether they vaccinated their child. Moreover, of the 10 studies including both parents, only two specifically compared fathers' and mothers' knowledge and awareness about the HPV and vaccine acceptability. These two studies determined that fathers were less aware of the HPV and had lower HPV vaccine-related knowledge than mothers. Nevertheless, all of the 11 examined studies, found moderate to high acceptability of the HPV vaccine among Latino parents despite uncertainty about possible vaccine risks and costs. Latino Fathers and HPV 3 Conclusion: Only 11 studies were identified that included Latino fathers. Of these studies, only one was conducted exclusively with Latino fathers and two compared fathers and mothers. Additional research focusing on Latino fathers is needed given the central role of the family in the Latino culture and the shared role fathers and mothers have in decision-making related to their children's health.

“…Both groups of participants agree that the parents have not talked with their daughters and sons about the vaccines. As Galbraith-Gyan et al points out [45], not considering the concerns of adolescents on the subject can be a limitation for them, since in the future they will be responsible for their health care decisions. In the case of the HPV vaccine, in the verbatims of parents and adolescents, we find similarities concerning the lack of knowledge.…”

“…Currently, evidence shows that the HPV vaccine is successful in reducing the prevalence of HPV infection and its consequences [12]. In Spain, three vaccines are marketed, classified according to the genotypes that they contain: bivalent (16,18), quadrivalent (6,11,16,18) and nonavalent (6,11,16,18,31,33,45,52,58) [13]. Since 2007, HPV vaccination has been included in the Spanish national public health system and is freely available for females from 12 years of age [14].…”

Sexual behaviour, human papillomavirus and its vaccine: a qualitative study of adolescents and parents in Andalusia

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections and can be prevented by vaccination. The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding, by analysing interview responses of adolescents and parents, of how adolescent sexual behaviour is approached in families, how widespread knowledge about HPV is in Andalusia, the autonomous region with the lowest vaccination rate in Spain, as well as to learn more about the interviewees’ position regarding vaccination. Methods A qualitative study by means of 15 focus groups of adolescents (N = 137, aged 14–17 years) and five focus groups of parents with children of those ages (N = 37) was conducted in the provinces of Granada, Seville and Jaén (Andalusia, Spain). The audio data were transcribed verbatim, coded and analysed thematically using NVIVO-10 software. Results There were three major results: (1) There is a lack of communication between adolescents and parents regarding sexual behaviour; (2) In both groups, scarce knowledge about HPV and vaccination was found; (3) Parents mistrust vaccination due to a lack of qualified and verified information about its benefits. Conclusions Healthy adolescent sexual behaviour is aided by communication within the family. Families need more information based on the evidence about HPV and vaccination. Health professionals are a key element in this process.

“…Others are concerned that the vaccine is too new to be safe, fear potential side effects will have long-term harmful impacts on their daughter’s reproductive health, and refer to an overall sense of cultural medical mistrust based on historical and contemporary medical abuses experienced by Black peoples in the United States ( 36 – 39 ). Still, others worry that giving their child the vaccine will reinforce social stereotypes regarding Black female promiscuity ( 38 , 39 ). By contrast, parents who are more accepting of the vaccine report they are motivated by concerns that the HPV infections pose severe health consequences to their daughters ( 38 , 40 , 41 ), and that hearing about the vaccine at church, seeing other Black parents vaccinate their daughters, and receiving recommendations from trusted providers positively influence their acceptance ( 37 , 39 , 40 ).…”

IntroductionCompared to other-race peers, Black women are disproportionately impacted by human papillomavirus [HPV] infection, related health outcomes, and cervical cancer mortality as a result of suboptimal HPV vaccine uptake during adolescence. Few studies in the United States have examined psychosocial determinants of HPV vaccine acceptability and hesitancy among Black parents. The current study integrated the health belief model and the theory of planned behavior to evaluate the extent to which psychosocial factors are associated with pediatric HPV vaccination intentions among this population.MethodsBlack mothers (N = 402; age range = 25 to 69 years, M = 37.45, SD = 7.88) of daughters ages 9 to 15 years completed an online survey assessing HPV infection and vaccine beliefs and attitudes across four domains: Mother’s HPV Perceptions, Mother’s Vaccine Attitudes, Cues to Action, and Perceived Barriers to HPV Vaccination. Participants indicated their willingness to vaccinate their daughter on a 5-level ordinal scale (“I will definitely not have my daughter get the vaccine” to “I will definitely have my daughter get the vaccine”) which was dichotomously recoded for binomial logistic regressions.ResultsHalf of the sample (48%) intended to vaccinate their daughter. Number of daughters, mother’s HPV vaccine status, perceived HPV vaccine benefits, HPV vaccine safety concerns, pediatric HPV vaccine peer norms, and doctor recommendations emerged as independent factors of Black mothers’ intentions to vaccinate their daughters against HPV when controlling for all other factors.DiscussionIn addition to medical training to increase doctor recommendation of the HPV vaccine for Black girls, population-tailored public health messaging aimed at promoting HPV vaccine acceptance among Black mothers is urgently needed. This messaging should engage community support and emphasize the benefits of vaccination for adolescent Black girls while also addressing parental concerns regarding the safety of pediatric HPV vaccination.
