“Minority youth represent a unique population for public health interventions given the social, economic, and cultural barriers they often face in accessing health services. Interventions to increase uptake of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in minority youth have the potential to reduce disparities in HPV infection and HPV-related cancers.

Some studies have found that Black, His-panic, and Asian adolescents were more likely to initiate the HPV vaccine series than their white counterparts, however, were less likely to complete the series

Documented barriers to HPV vaccination of minority youth include knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs among parents, geographic location, distance to vaccination centers,immigrant or foreign-born status, acculturation levels, socioeconomic status, insurance status, and high cost of the vaccine”

From Lott, B. et al

“In this review, we found limited evidence to suggest educational and reminder interventions may be effective for improving HPV vaccine series initiation and completion in minority populations. Further investigation into HPV vaccination promotion strategies for different minority groups is warranted, given the potential of HPV vaccination to reduce racial and ethnic-based and sexual and gender-based inequities in cancer-related outcomes and the lack of evidence, varying study quality, and inadequately powered studies identified in this review.”
