Note. Table reports standardized regression coefficients (β) from linear regression models of daughter’s involvement in the decision about whether to get vaccinated against HPV [mean: 2.55, SD=1.21, range 1–4; 1=“none” (28.2%), 2=“a little” (20.9%), 3=“a moderate amount” (18.9%), 4=“a lot” (32.0%)]. Multivariate model includes all correlates significant (p<.05) in bivariate models. Ref=reference category, SD=standard deviation.

Parent’s perception of daughter’s sexual activity (1=not sexually active and will not be in next year, 2=may already be sexually active or may become sexually active in next year, and 3=either currently sexually active or will become sexually active in next year).
