JAMA Network

About The Study: This cross-sectional study demonstrates substantial state-level variation in human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine uptake among U.S. adolescents, even after adjustment for key sociodemographic factors. Several Northeastern states, including Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire, exhibited significantly higher odds of HPV vaccination compared with the reference state, Alabama, whereas multiple Southern states, particularly Mississippi, Georgia, Oklahoma, Kentucky, and West Virginia had significantly lower odds of uptake.
