title: Identifying Hispanic mothers' salient beliefs about human papillomavirus vaccine initiation in their adolescent daughters.
abstract: Guided by the Integrative Model of Behavioral Prediction, we identify mothers' salient beliefs regarding their daughters' initiation of the human papillomavirus vaccine series. In all, 34 Hispanic mothers responded to elicitation questions. Salient beliefs included the following: (1) feeling secure, happy, relieved, concerned, and fear about vaccinating; (2) believing that vaccinating prevents and protects from human papillomavirus but may result in side effects and sexual disinhibition; (3) identifying the daughter, father, mother, aunt, friends, and grandmothers as supporters/non-supporters; and (4) affordability, transportation, clinic distance, and making appointments as facilitators/barriers. This study begins the process of building a model of human papillomavirus vaccine initiation for this population.
