We c…

    Open AccessCoralia Vázquez-Otero, Ellen M Daley et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2021

    Persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infections can cause cancer (e.g., cervical/vaginal/penile/anal/oropharyngeal). The HPV vaccine prevents cancer, yet U.S. vaccination rates remain low. We explored sociopolitical factors in the adoption of Puerto Rico’s HPV vaccine school-entry requirement. Multiple streams framework explains how the intersection of problems, policy, and politics streams influence policy adoption. Policy entrepreneurs work on…

  • Stakeholders’ perspectives on system-level barriers to and facilitators of HPV vaccination among Hispanic migrant farmworkers

    Cheryl A Vamos, Nolan S Kline et al.ARTICLEEthnicity and Health2021Referências: 1

    Open AccessRachel G Logan, Ellen M Daley et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2021Citada por: 9Referências: 46

    While family planning care (FPC) visits may serve as opportunities to address gaps in knowledge and access to limited resources, young Black women may also face structural barriers (i.e., racism, discrimination, bias) to engaging in care due to the intersections of racial identity, age, and socioeconomic status. Findings from interviews with 22 Black women, ages 18 to 29 years, about the lived experience of FPC highlighted dynamic patient-provide…

  • HPV Vaccine recommendations

    Natalie D Hernandez, Ellen M Daley et al.ARTICLEEthnicity and Health2017Citada por: 2Referências: 3

    Objectives: There are disparities in the uptake of HPV vaccine among racial/ethnic minority women. The strongest predictor of HPV vaccine uptake among adult women is health care provider (HCP) recommendation; however, it is unclear how issues relating to race/ethnicity may mitigate these recommendations. Research shows that racial/ethnic and gender concordance between a patient and HCP can improve patient satisfaction, access and quality of care.…
