Multivariate logistic regression with acceptance and uptake of the HPV vaccine as outcomes.

Model 1: including baseline characteristics; model 2: including barriers perceived at baseline; model 3: including baseline characteristics and barriers obtained by stepwise backward regression – model 4: model 3 + acceptance and being well-informed about the HPV vaccination program.AOR: adjusted odds ratio – CI: confidence interval.°average of: doubt the vaccine works, fear of side effects and interference with fertility, and afraid of unsafe administration; alpha = 0.90.°° average of: vaccination takes a lot of time and 3 doses are inconvenient; alpha = 0.79.nw: not withheld in backward stepwise regression.* pMultivariate logistic regression with acceptance and uptake of the HPV vaccine as outcomes.
