Factors associated with HPV awareness among mothers of low-income ethnic minority adolescent girls in Los Angeles.
The investigators studied demographic factors associated with HPV awareness among low-income, ethnic minority mothers in Los Angeles County. Using data from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Office of Women's Health, they found that one in three participants had never heard of HPV or the vaccine, with mothers unaware of HPV being significantly more likely to conduct the interview in a language other than English and to lack health insurance for their daughters. HPV vaccine awareness was much lower in this caregiver sample than in a simultaneous national survey of caregivers.
