Associations between english proficiency and HPV vaccine uptake among foreign-born men and women in the United States: a cross-sectional study using data from the National Health Interview Survey
Our findings suggest that limited English proficiency negatively influences the receipt of HPV vaccination among foreign-born individuals in the U.S. Targeted interventions for populations in need of linguistically tailored education and interactions within healthcare systems are needed to address disparities in HPV vaccination.
