Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Among U.S. Adults Aged 18 to 45.
Western Journal of Nursing Research 2019 March 28
Despite increased incidence rates of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cancers among sexual minorities, their HPV vaccine uptake remains suboptimal. This cross-sectional, correlational study aimed to investigate factors associated with HPV vaccination among a nationally representative sample of U.S. young adults by sexual orientation. We used the 2014 to 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data for adults aged 18 to 45 years. HPV vaccination initiation was associated with being female and Hispanic, having higher educational attainment, and having ever been tested for HIV, whereas completion was associated with being female and non-Hispanic White and having higher educational attainment. Compared with those who reported identifying as straight, the lesbian or gay respondents were found to have been less likely not to complete the series. Providers should play a crucial part in addressing missed opportunities for HPV vaccination by implementing culturally competent communication strategies to empower sexual minorities to make informed HPV vaccine decisions.
