U.S. Vietnamese parents' HPV vaccine decision-making for their adolescents: an exploration of practice-, provider-, and patient-level influences.

ABSTRACT: U.S. Vietnamese have high cervical cancer incidence and low human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine initiation.

Modified Poisson regressions were used to identify practice-, provider- and patient-level correlates of outcomes. The sample (n = 408) was 44 years old on average; 83% were female and 85% had a Bachelor's degree. Around half of adolescents were female (51%) and 13-18 year old (54%). On
