Note. Table includes parents of unvaccinated sons who indicated they were “not likely at all,” “not too likely,” or “not sure/don’t know” about getting their sons HPV vaccine in the next year. Table does not include reasons that were reported by less than 2.0% of parents. Frequencies were not weighted. Reported p-values are from binary logistic regression models that determined if each reason differed by parents’ preferred language.
