Human papillomavirus‐related cancers and human papillomavirus vaccination among Arab Americans: A call to unveil disparities and bridge the research gaps

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Arab Americans, a diverse and rapidly growing demographic in the United States, face unique barriers to human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and cancer prevention, but there is a notable lack of research on HPV‐associated cancer incidence and vaccination rates in this community. Collaborative efforts among health care providers, public health agencies, researchers, and religious community organizations are essential to improve HPV vaccination uptake and reduce cancer disparities within this underserved population by including Middle Eastern and North African as a distinct category in national health surveys, conducting comprehensive epidemiological research, and developing culturally tailored interventions.
