Longitudinal predictors of reported HPV vaccine initiation, adjusted analysis.

aRR (95% CI)
Intend to vaccinate 2.04 (1.16–3.59)*
HPV knowledge
 Had not heard of HPV 1.17 (.57–2.42)
 Low knowledge (ref)
 High knowledge 1.49 (.96–2.30)
Believed daughter was in age group HPV vaccine is recommended for 1.69 (.93–3.08)
Believe daughter’s health insurance covers HPV vaccine
 No .82 (.36–1.88)
 Maybe/Don’t know .80 (.54–1.19)
 Yes (ref)
Daughter’s doctor recommended HPV vaccine 1.20 (.83–1.74)
Needed more information about vaccine .41 (.22-.76)**
Born again Christian .53 (.39-.74)**
Perceived barriers to getting daughter HPV vaccine .57 (.39-.83)**
Perceived harms of HPV vaccine .79 (.51–1.23)
Perceived uncertainty about HPV vaccine 1.12 (.84–1.53)
Anticipated regret (if do not get daughter HPV vaccine and she gets HPV) 1.85 (1.13–3.02)*

Note. Predictors assessed in baseline interview, except being a born-again Christian. Outcome assessed at follow-up. Adjusted analyses, which included parents who reported at baseline their daughters had not received any doses of HPV vaccine, controlled for all other variables in table. aRR = adjusted risk ratio. CI = confidence interval. (ref) = referent group.
