ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Despite over 15 years of real-world data that supports the safety and efficacy of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, in the United States vaccine hesitancy persists. Many studies have focused on vaccine-hesitant parents, but fewer have examined provider perspectives on how to address HPV vaccine hesitancy.

Methods:

Between July 2021-April 2022, we recruited providers in Maryland and the broader Mid-Atlantic region who practiced pediatrics, primary care, family medicine, or adolescent medicine and who provided outpatient care for children ages 10-17. Semi-structured virtual interviews focused on provider-reported strategies to address HPV vaccine-hesitant parents, as well as perceived barriers to successful vaccination and provider perspectives on specific interventions to address parental hesitancy. Audio recordings were transcribed and analyzed via a combination of deductive and inductive coding. Higher-level themes within the domains of strategies, barriers, and perspectives on specific proposed interventions were identified. Results and

discussion:

A total of sixteen providers completed an interview. Within the domain of provider-reported strategies, the following themes emerged 1) leveraging continuity of care and established parental trust, 2) supporting parental autonomy, 3) tailoring the approach to specific concerns of vaccine-hesitant parents, 4) normalizing the HPV vaccine, and 5) focusing on health prevention and cancer prevention. Barriers providers identified were 1) limited time, 2) lack of common ground with parents, 3) parent-child decision discordance, 4) availability of misinformation, and 5) parental concerns such as safety and necessity. In the domain for proposed interventions, providers favored interventions that saved time or were not resource-intense, that did not single out the HPV vaccine as different, were patient friendly, and leveraged efficiency through the electronic medical record. The insights from this study can help inform the development of provider-acceptable and feasible tools and interventions to address parental HPV vaccine hesitancy.
