Are there socioeconomic disparities in women having discussions on human papillomavirus vaccine with health care providers?
Journal Title: BMC Women's Health - Year 2012, Vol 12, Issue
Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine recommendation by a health care provider (HCP) is an important predictor of vaccine receipt. We examined whether being of a minority race/ethnicity, having lower income and education, and the lack of health insurance and a regular HCP are each associated with a lower likelihood of a discussion on HPV vaccine occurring between a woman and her HCP.
