Evaluating Human Papillomavirus eHealth in Hmong Adolescents to Promote Vaccinations: Pilot Feasibility Study

Evaluating Human Papillomavirus eHealth in Hmong Adolescents to Promote Vaccinations: Pilot Feasibility Study

Although the literature on HPV vaccination rates in Hmong-American youth does not exist, a 2015 medical record review of Hmong-American youth aged 9 to 17 years at a Minnesota community health center found HPV vaccination completion rates of 32% for girls and 20% for boys, much lower than the national rates of 57% and 35%, respectively [13]. This disparity indicates that strategies to support and foster HPV vaccination are urgently needed in the Hmong-American community.
