Moreno, Denisse Delgado, Axel Hernandez Nieto, Nachalie Rodriguez-Cruz, Qun Le, Ana Cristina Lindsay

“…In the multiple logistic regression analysis, receiving HPV vaccine information from a HCP was the strongest predictor of vaccine initiation (AOR = 93.23, 95% CI = 14.50–599.63, <i>p</i> < 0.001), adjusting for other variables. For vaccination intention, significant predictors included the length of U.S. residence (AOR = 0.84, 95% CI = 0.75–0.95, <i>p</i> < 0.01), having a U.S.…”
