description | Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines are safe and effective in preventing HPV infection and HPV-related cancers. However, the HPV vaccine uptake rate is lower among the ethnic minority population than in the majority population. This qualitative study explored the barriers and facilitators influencing South Asian minority and Chinese mothers’ decisions to vaccinate their daughters against HPV in Hong Kong. South Asian and Chinese mothers with at least one daughter aged 9 to 17 years were recruited to this study. Twenty-two semi-structured focus group interviews were conducted, and the transcripts were analysed via content analysis. Two barriers and three facilitating factors were common among South Asian and Chinese mothers: inadequate knowledge of cervical cancer, HPV or the HPV vaccine and high perceived barriers to HPV vaccination due to vaccine cost, the receipt of reliable information from schools or the government, high perceived benefits of HPV vaccination to health, and the presence of vaccination programme arranged by school or government. Despite these commonalities, South Asian mothers experienced more barriers to making the decision to vaccinate than Chinese mothers. Particularly, obtaining family support was an important factor for South Asian mothers. The vaccination decision was considered a joint decision between the mother and father, and the father’s agreement was of particular importance to Pakistani mothers. This study identified the factors that hindered and facilitated South Asian and Chinese mothers’ decisions to vaccinate their daughters against HPV. The comparison between groups improves our understanding of the distinct needs of South Asian in Hong Kong. |
