Abstract

Background

The United States (U.S.) Vietnamese communities face a high burden of HPV-related cancer rates; they also have low HPV vaccination coverage. HPV vaccination is a safe, effective tool to prevent HPV-related cancers, particularly when administered during adolescence. Understanding Vietnamese parents' perspectives on the acceptability of different HPV vaccination status verification methods can improve the implementation of community-based research interventions to improve HPV vaccine coverage in this population.

Objective

We assessed their perceptions of three HPV vaccination status confirmation methods: medical records, vaccination card photographs, and self-reported surveys.

Design

We conducted interviews with Vietnamese parents of adolescents ages 9–18, healthcare providers, and community leaders (n = 34). We used an inductive thematic analysis approach with four qualitative coders.

Results

Preferences for confirming vaccination status were split almost equally among each method. Key drivers of these preferences included privacy concerns, autonomy, efforts required from parents, digital literacy, and data accuracy.

Discussion

These findings suggest offering multiple confirmation options to accommodate diverse preferences and enhance the effectiveness of HPV vaccination promotion strategies in this population.

Public Contribution

Community involvement was integral to the design, implementation of this project, and writing of the manuscript. The study team partnered with a community organization that works closely with the U.S. Vietnamese population and Vietnamese healthcare providers. The group met regularly to discuss participant recruitment strategies and study instruments. Lived experiences from parents of adolescents, community leaders, and healthcare providers were included in the production of this manuscript to guide the interpretation of preferences for vaccination confirmation methods.

美国越南父母对研究中确认青少年HPV疫苗接种记录的不同方法的看法。

背景：美国（U.S.）越南社区面临着hpv相关癌症发病率的高负担；他们的HPV疫苗接种覆盖率也很低。HPV疫苗接种是一种安全有效的预防HPV相关癌症的工具，特别是在青春期接种时。了解越南父母对不同HPV疫苗接种状态验证方法的可接受性的看法，可以改善社区研究干预措施的实施，以提高该人群的HPV疫苗覆盖率。目的：我们评估了他们对三种HPV疫苗接种状态确认方法的看法：医疗记录、疫苗接种卡照片和自我报告的调查。设计：我们对越南9-18岁青少年的父母、医疗保健提供者和社区领袖进行了访谈（n = 34）。我们使用了四种定性编码器的归纳主题分析方法。结果：确认疫苗接种状态的偏好在每种方法中几乎相等。这些偏好的主要驱动因素包括隐私问题、自主性、父母需要付出的努力、数字素养和数据准确性。讨论：这些发现建议提供多种确认选项，以适应不同的偏好，并提高HPV疫苗接种促进策略在这一人群中的有效性。公众贡献：社区参与是设计、实施这个项目和撰写手稿不可或缺的一部分。研究小组与一个社区组织合作，该组织与美国越南人口和越南医疗保健提供者密切合作。小组定期开会讨论参与者招募策略和学习工具。来自青少年父母、社区领袖和卫生保健提供者的生活经验被纳入本手稿的制作，以指导对疫苗接种确认方法的偏好的解释。

期刊介绍： Health Expectations promotes critical thinking and informed debate about all aspects of patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) in health and social care, health policy and health services research including: • Person-centred care and quality improvement • Patients'' participation in decisions about disease prevention and management • Public perceptions of health services • Citizen involvement in health care policy making and priority-setting • Methods for monitoring and evaluating participation • Empowerment and consumerism • Patients'' role in safety and quality • Patient and public role in health services research • Co-production (researchers working with patients and the public) of research, health care and policy Health Expectations is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal publishing original research, review articles and critical commentaries. It includes papers which clarify concepts, develop theories, and critically analyse and evaluate specific policies and practices. The Journal provides an inter-disciplinary and international forum in which researchers (including PPIE researchers) from a range of backgrounds and expertise can present their work to other researchers, policy-makers, health care professionals, managers, patients and consumer advocates.
