Geographic factors and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination initiation among adolescent girls in the United States

It concludes that initiation rates of HPV vaccination among teen girls were highest in the poorest communities and among Hispanics living in communities where the racial–ethnic composition was predominantly Hispanic or mixed race.
