Assessing Knowledge, Beliefs and Attitudes Toward HPV Vaccination Among Parents in North West, Cameroon

The aim of this study is to assess knowledge, beliefs and attitudes of parents to young girls aged 9 to 14 years about HPV vaccines within some rural communities in the North West Region of Cameroon served by three hospitals in that area. To do this, we will conduct in-depth qualitative interviews with purposively sampled parents of girls aged 9 to 14 years, some of whom received HPV vaccine and some of whom did not. Interviews will continue until thematic saturation is reached (We anticipate a total 40 interviews). Data analysis will be done concurrently with interviews using thematic analysis.
