More than cervical cancer: Understanding racial/ethnic disparities in oropharyngeal cancer outcomes among males by HPV status
Conclusions: To decrease incidence rates of late stage OPCa, HPV vaccination and possibly, HPV OPCa screening should be advocated, especially in White males. Further research to explicate possible biologic mechanisms and behaviors or comorbidities contributing to the higher OPCa mortality among Black males is needed.PMID:36696662 | DOI:10.1370/afm.20.s1.2625

Disparities in human papillomavirus vaccination coverage in the United States, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, January 2017-March 2020
CONCLUSIONS: HPV vaccination coverage varied by race/ethnicity and other characteristics. Efforts are needed to increase HPV vaccination coverage in all populations.PMID:35393147 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2022.03.028

Vaccine exposure during pregnancy among privately and publicly insured women in the United States, 2016-2018
CONCLUSION: Maternal vaccination with ACIP-recommended vaccines was suboptimal among privately and Medicaid-insured patients, with lower vaccination coverage among Medicaid-insured pregnancies than their privately insured counterparts. Inadvertent exposure to contraindicated vaccines during pregnancy was rare. This study evaluated only vaccinations reimbursed among insured populations and may have limited generalizability to uninsured populations.PMID:34507857 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2021.08.091

Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine uptake among a community-recruited sample of gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men in the three largest cities in Canada from 2017 to 2019
CONCLUSIONS: Sixty-five to 74% of men eligible for publicly-funded vaccine across the three cities remained unvaccinated against HPV by 2019. High vaccine cost may partly explain even lower uptake among men ≥ 27 years old. Men seeking sexual health care were more likely to initiate vaccination; bundling vaccination with these services may help improve HPV vaccine uptake.PMID:34074547 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2021.05.031

Use of Selected Recommended Clinical Preventive Services - Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, United States, 2018
MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2021 Apr 2;70(13):461-466. doi: 10.15585/mmwr.mm7013a1.ABSTRACTClinical preventive services play an important role in preventing deaths, and Healthy People 2020 has set national goals for using clinical preventive services to improve population health (1). The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires many health plans to cover certain recommended clinical preventive services without cost-sharing when provided in-network (covered clinical preventive services).* To ascertain prevalence of the use of selected recommended clinical preventive services among persons aged ≥18 years, C...
