| Research Abstract |
This study examined predictors of HPV vaccine acceptance in Japanese mothers of adolescent girls. Two studies, a cross-sectional study and a randomized intervention study within a cross-sectional study that gave randomized participants an educational leaflet about HPV, were performed. In all 92% of mothers said they would vaccinate their daughter if free. Barriers to vaccination were safety concerns and mother’s screening history. Recommendation from a doctor positively influenced vaccine acceptance, as did the educational leaflet. If doctors activelyassure mothers about the safety/efficacy of the HPV vaccine, high uptake may be possible in a publically funded program.
