Factors associated with parental acceptance of the HPV vaccine in girls from metropolitan Lima, Peru.
Observational study in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIn 2022, cervical cancer was the second most common neoplasia among women in Peru, with 4809 cases and 2545 deaths reported. Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is a key factor in the development of this disease. Vaccination is the primary strategy for HPV prevention. Although HPV vaccination coverage has improved, evaluating acceptance profiles is crucial for effectively monitoring public immunization policies. We aimed to determine the associated factors with parental acceptance of the HPV vaccine in girls from Peru.
methodsAn observational, analytical, and cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 204 parents of girls and adolescents aged 9 to 19 years in Metropolitan Lima. The dependent variable was acceptance of the HPV vaccine, while the independent variables included demographic data, level of knowledge about HPV, and socioeconomic and cultural factors.
resultsA total of 204 parents participated in the study. Overall, 61.3% expressed willingness to vaccinate their daughters against HPV. Factors significantly associated with vaccine acceptance in the bivariate analysis included being a mother, being married, residing in the South-Central region, having a high monthly income, possessing private or public health insurance, and having a higher level of education. In both bivariate and multivariable analyses, having a daughter previously vaccinated against HPV was significantly associated with HPV vaccine acceptance, and remained the only independent predictor in the adjusted model (aPR = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.03–1.53, p = 0.023). Knowledge level about HPV was not significantly associated with vaccine acceptance in the adjusted model.
conclusionPrior experience with HPV vaccination was the strongest predictor of parental acceptance. Increasing awareness and addressing misconceptions through educational campaigns may enhance vaccine uptake.
