Abstract Background The English schools-based human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programme has the potential to eliminate HPV-related cancers if high uptake is achieved. However, unmet information needs among some parents may contribute persisting lower minority ethnic groups. Through this study we aimed understand of vaccine-hesitant, ethnically diverse during decision-making about HPV vaccine for their adolescent child, inform future development tailored communication materials....

Logistic regressions were used assess between caregivers’ primary sources confidence/hesitancy. A majority (72%)...
Parental consent to children’s participation in vaccine research has resulted the licensure of essential vaccines. Recruitment this type is typically difficult, however, and many parents decline. In study, authors interviewed about their decision for or against enrolling child a study. The data analysis suggests that parents’ ability evaluate study depends on how attuned they are with science medicine, either professionally as consumers health services. Familiarity does not predispose...
