TY - JOUR TI - Exploring inequalities in HPV vaccine uptake among Cape Verdean immigrant and Portuguese native women T2 - Medical Sciences Forum VL - 5 IS - 1 AU - Alarcão, V. AU - Candeias, P.

PY - 2021 SN - 2673-9992 DO - 10.3390/msf2021005021 UR - https://www.mdpi.com/journal/msf AB - Based on data from the FEMINA study, this communication aims to explore inequalities in HPV vaccine uptake. Results highlighted differences between the Portuguese and the Cape Verdean women: 97% vs. 67% had heard about the HPV vaccine; 30% vs. 9% had been vaccinated, and 71% vs. 82% had reported a lack of medical recommendation as a major reason for not having been vaccinated. Further research on the mechanisms that operate in the production of health disparities is needed to promote equity-focused interventions. ER -
