Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination among males is poorly understood. We systematically reviewed individual socioeconomic/health-related characteristics associated with HPV vaccine initiation and vaccination series completion among males in the United States. We searched for literature up to August 1, 2023, and pooled appropriate multivariable-adjusted results using an inverse variance random effects model, with results expressed as odds ratios.

Study Design: A global systematic review with meta-analysis (PROSPERO: CRD42023445721).
Methods: We performed a literature search in December 2022 and supplemented the search on August 1, 2023.
Article Synopsis
- HPV vaccination rates among women, especially adult females, are significantly lower than the targets set by the World Health Organization.
- A systematic review analyzed individual factors affecting both the initiation and completion of HPV vaccination among adult females, identifying socioeconomic and health characteristics that play a role.
- Results showed that White women, those with higher education and health insurance, and younger individuals had significantly higher odds of both initiating and completing the vaccination series, with additional factors influencing completion.
