“…Furthermore, a large number of the community groups contacted for study one were working with BAME communities, which may have impacted on the way in which the study was received. As HPV is sexually transmitted, the topic may be seen as “taboo” or sensitive (Marlow, 2011) and therefore inappropriate to discuss. Furthermore, previous studies have suggested that distrust of scientific investigators and of academic institutions may also act as a barrier to participation for people from BAME backgrounds (Yancy, Ortega, & Kumanyika, 2006).…”

In this article, we discuss the challenges faced in recruiting “hard-to-reach” groups for interview studies, specifically those who do not access preventative healthcare services. We do this by reflecting on the varying success of different recruitment methods we have used in two recent studies; one investigating ethnic disparities in human papillomavirus vaccination uptake and another exploring difference in cervical screening non-participation. Engaging new community groups to help with recruitment proved particularly difficult, as did recruiting online. Our most successful recruitment methods included recruiting through community groups with whom we had previously established relationships, recruiting through schools and re-contacting participants who previously completed a related survey. We conclude that successful recruitment is dependent on study awareness and engagement. We urge others to be transparent in reporting recruitment methods in order to benefit the qualitative research community and suggest that details are published as supplementary material alongside qualitative articles in future.

Knowledge of human papillomavirus and the human papillomavirus vaccine in European adolescents: a systematic review

BackgroundThe human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is recommended for adolescent girls in many European countries, however there is huge variation in vaccine uptake. Methods A mixed methods systematic review to ascertain the level of HPV and HPV vaccine knowledge that exists among European adolescents. Two electronic databases, Ovid Medline and PsychInfo, were searched from origin to September 2014. Meta-analysis was performed for the two primary outcome measures ('have you heard of HPV?' and 'have you heard of the HPV vaccine?'), assessing for the correlation between gender and knowledge. This was supplemented with meta-synthesis for the remaining associations and secondary outcomes. Results 18 papers were included in the final review. Overall European adolescents had poor understanding of basic HPV and HPV vaccine knowledge. Meta-analysis identified that female adolescents are more likely to have heard of HPV (n=2598/5028 girls versus n=1033/3464 boys; OR 2.73, 95% CI 1.86-3.99) and the HPV vaccine (n=1154/2556 girls versus n=392/2074 boys; OR 5.64, 95% CI 2.43-13.07), compared to males. Age, higher education and a positive vaccination status were also associated with increased awareness. There was limited appreciation of more detailed HPV knowledge and uncertainty existed regarding the level of protection offered by the vaccine and the need for cervical screening post vaccination. Conclusions The delivery of HPV education to European adolescents needs to be re-evaluated, since at present there appears to be significant deficiencies in their basic knowledge and understanding of the subject. Increasing HPV knowledge will empower adolescents to make informed choices regarding participation with HPV related cancer prevention health strategies.

“…In a pilot study carried out before the introduction of the HPV vaccine in the UK, uptake was lower in schools with greater ethnic diversity,38 39 and analyses of data from the first year of the vaccination programme (routine and ‘catch-up’ cohorts) also suggest that ethnicity is an important factor in understanding uptake in the UK 35. Research from the UK has also suggested that there is lower awareness and acceptability of the HPV vaccine among ethnic minority groups 40. Future research should explore factors predicting HPV vaccine uptake within ethnic minority groups.…”

Background To maximise the benefits of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, uptake needs to be high. We examined psychosocial predictors of HPV vaccine uptake and the association between vaccine intention and uptake 1 year later in adolescent girls (aged 16-17 years) in England. Method Adolescent girls in the catch-up cohort were recruited from colleges in the South East of England in 2009 and 2010. Participants completed a questionnaire 6 months before (n=606) and 6 months after (n=214) being offered the vaccine, which assessed vaccine intention, vaccine uptake, demographics and attitudes based on the Health Belief Model and Theory of Planned Behaviour. Results A number of demographic and psychological factors, including intention, showed associations with vaccine uptake in univariable analyses. In multi-variable analyses, only ethnicity was independently associated with vaccine uptake. Participants from Black or 'Other' ethnic backgrounds were less likely to have received the HPV vaccine than White participants. Conclusions More research is needed to help understand variation in vaccine coverage between ethnic groups.
