Factors associated with not receiving HPV vaccine among adolescents by metropolitan statistical area status, United States, National Immunization Survey-Teen, 2016-2017.

ABSTRACT: The 2016 and 2017 National Immunization Surveys-Teen (NIS-Teen) highlighted disparities in human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination coverage by metropolitan statistical area (MSA) status. Coverage with ?1 dose of HPV vaccine was significantly lower among teens in suburban and mostly rural areas than it was among those in mostly urban areas. Reasons underlying this disparity are poorly understood; this analysis sought to identify sociodemographic factors associated with not initiating the HPV vaccine series and to determine whether these factors differed by MSA status. Using NIS-Teen data for a sample of 41,424 adolescents from the 2016 and 2017 survey years, multivariate logistic regression was utilized to assess associations between various sociodemographic factors and non-initiation of the HPV vaccine series by MSA status. Adjusted prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals are reported. A secondary analysis assessed missed opportunities for HPV vaccination by MSA status and estimated what coverage could be if these missed opportunities had not occurred. Most factors associated with not receiving HPV vaccine were similar across all three MSAs, including living in the South, having a mother with some college education, not having an 11-12-year-old well-child visit, and not receiving a provider recommendation for vaccination. Others were associated with non-initiation of the HPV vaccine series in only specific MSAs. Teens in suburban areas (82.2%) were more likely to miss opportunities for HPV vaccination than those in mostly urban (79.3%) areas. Coverage with ?1 dose of HPV vaccine in all three MSAs would be substantially higher if these missed opportunities had been eliminated.

Project description:This study is the first to examine associations between several area-based socioeconomic factors and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine uptake among boys in the United States (U.S.).Data from the 2012-2013 National Immunization Survey-Teen restricted-use data were analyzed to examine associations of HPV vaccination initiation (receipt of ?1 dose) and series completion (receipt of three doses) among boys aged 13-17 years (N = 19,518) with several individual-level and ZIP Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA) census measures. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate the odds of HPV vaccination initiation and series completion separately.In 2012-2013 approximately 27.9% (95% CI 26.6%-29.2%) of boys initiated and 10.38% (95% CI 9.48%-11.29%) completed the HPV vaccine series. Area-based poverty was not statistically significantly associated with HPV vaccination initiation. It was, however, associated with series completion, with boys living in high-poverty areas (?20% of residents living below poverty) having higher odds of completing the series (AOR 1.22, 95% CI 1.01-1.48) than boys in low-poverty areas (0-4.99%). Interactions between race/ethnicity and ZIP code-level poverty indicated that Hispanic boys living in high-poverty areas had a statistically significantly higher odds of HPV vaccine initiation (AOR 1.43, 95% CI 1.03-1.97) and series completion (AOR 1.56, 95% CI 1.05-2.32) than Hispanic boys in low-poverty areas. Non-Hispanic Black boys in high poverty areas had higher odds of initiation (AOR 2.23, 95% CI 1.33-3.75) and completion (AOR 2.61, 95% CI 1.06-6.44) than non-Hispanic Black boys in low-poverty areas. Rural/urban residence and population density were also significant factors, with boys from urban or densely populated areas having higher odds of initiation and completion compared to boys living in non-urban, less densely populated areas.Higher HPV vaccination coverage in urban areas and among racial/ethnic minorities in areas with high poverty may be attributable to factors such as vaccine acceptance, health-care practices, and their access to HPV vaccines through the Vaccines for Children Program, which provides free vaccines to uninsured and under-insured children. Given the low HPV vaccination rates among boys in the U.S., these results provide important evidence to inform public health interventions to increase HPV vaccination.
