title: Parental support for the human papillomavirus vaccine.
abstract: This study examined support for the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine among a representative sample of Minnesota parents after approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Support for the vaccine was high; 87% supported its use. Although individual characteristics predicted support, support was high across subgroups with two-thirds or more of parents supporting the vaccine.
