Lesbian Adolescent and Young Adult Initiation of HPV Vaccine
Agenor M, Peitzmeier S, Gordon A, et al.
Investigators from multiple institutions assessed the awareness and initiation of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine series among US women and girls based on sexual orientation. Data from the 2006–2010 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), a national probability sample of 15- to 44-year-old women, were abstracted for the study. Primary outcomes were self-reported awareness and initiation of the HPV vaccine. Sexual orientation identity was the primary predictor.
