Abstract

Human Papillomaviruses (HPV) can cause various types of cancer. However, vaccination rates in Germany are low in comparison to the UK and US. An online questionnaire with 1200 parents form the US, UK and Germany will measure various predictors of vaccination intentions and subsequently structural equation models will be tested.
