Overview

Systematic review identifies wealth index and parental marital status as critical factors affecting HPV vaccine uptake in LMICs, suggesting tailored community interventions.

Key Points

  • Wealth index and parental marital status significantly influence HPV vaccine uptake among adolescent girls.
  • Meta-analysis revealed wealth index with OR = 1.34 and parental marital status with OR = 0.86 as key determinants.
  • Systematic review analyzed eight studies on HPV vaccine uptake in Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Uganda, focusing on social determinants.
  • Findings highlight the need for culturally tailored interventions, as other factors showed inconsistent effects; continued research is vital.
