Exploring the Need of HPV Education Programs in Korean American Communities.

This study found a lack of knowledge about HPV and the vaccine, along with negative perceptions about the vaccine, affects HPV vaccination decision-making. Ineffective conversations and a lack of HPV vaccine recommendations by health care providers influenced by cultural beliefs were found to be another major barrier. These findings reveal new insights to guide the development of HPV education programs. PMID: 30793961 [PubMed - in process]
