American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) persons bear a disproportionate burden of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cancers and face unique challenges to HPV vaccination. We undertook a systematic review to synthesize the available evidence on HPV vaccination barriers and factors among AI/AN persons in the United States. We searched fourteen bibliographic databases, four citation indexes, and six gray literature sources from July 2006 to January 2021. We did not restrict our search by study design, setting, or publication type. Two reviewers independently screened the titles and abstracts (stage 1) and full-text (stage 2) of studies for selection. Both reviewers then independently extracted data using a data extraction form and undertook quality appraisal and bias assessment using the modified Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. We conducted thematic synthesis to generate descriptive themes. We included a total of 15 records after identifying 3017, screening 1415, retrieving 203, and assessing 41 records. A total of 21 unique barriers to HPV vaccination were reported across 15 themes at the individual (n = 12) and clinic or provider (n = 3) levels. At the individual level, the most common barriers to vaccination-safety and lack of knowledge about the HPV vaccine-were each reported in the highest number of studies (n = 9; 60%). The findings from this review signal the need to develop interventions that target AI/AN populations to increase the adoption and coverage of HPV vaccination. Failure to do so may widen disparities.

OBJECTIVES. Previous studies have identified racial/ethnic disparities in infertility care, but patterns among American Indian/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) have not been reported. Our objective was to evaluate infertility services use in the US by race/ethnicity using data from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG). METHODS. We analyzed female respondent data from the pooled NSFG cycles 2002, 2006–2010 and 2011–2013. Respondents reported use of infertility services and types of services. We calculated weighted crude and adjusted prevalence proportion ratios (PPR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) using modified Poisson regression with robust error variances accounting for the complex survey design to compare infertility services use across race/ethnicities. RESULTS: Overall, 8.7% of women reported using medical services to get pregnant. The prevalence of using any medical service to help get pregnant was lower for American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) [PPR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.43, 0.83] and black [PPR: 0.53, 95% CI: 0.44, 0.63] compared to white women and in Hispanic compared to non-Hispanic women [PPR: 0.57, 95% CI: 0.48, 0.67]. The prevalence of accessing treatment, testing, and advice also differed by race and ethnicity. CONCLUSIONS FOR PRACTICE: We observed disparities in accessing services to get pregnant among AI/AN and black women and reduced use of advice among Asian/Pacific Islanders compared to whites. We also observed reduced service utilization for Hispanic compared to non-Hispanic women. Differential utilization of specific services suggests barriers to infertility care may contribute to reproductive health disparities among underserved populations.

BACKGROUND: No research exists on American Indian pregnancy rates following infertility treatment. Most racial/ethnic fertility research has focused on pregnancy following in vitro fertilization, with only rare studies looking at intrauterine insemination (IUI). The objective of our study was to compare fecundability following IUI by race/ethnicity, with a special focus on American Indians. METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of subjects undergoing IUI July 2007—May 2012 at a university-based infertility clinic. The primary outcome was positive pregnancy test, with a secondary outcome of ongoing pregnancy/delivery (OP/D). We calculated risk ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) using cluster-weighted generalized estimating equations method to estimate modified Poisson regression models with robust standard errors to account for multiple IUI cycles in the same patient. RESULTS: A total of 663 females (median age 32) undergoing 2007 IUI cycles were included in the analysis. Pregnancy rates overall were 15% per IUI cycle. OP/D rates overall were 10% per IUI cycle. The American Indian patients had significantly lower pregnancy (RR 0.34, 95%CI 0.16–0.72) and OP/D rates (RR 0.33, 95%CI 0.12–0.87) compared to non-Hispanic whites when patient and cycle characteristics were controlled. Pregnancy and OP/D rates for blacks, Asians and Hispanics did not differ from non-Hispanic whites. CONCLUSIONS: Our finding of lower IUI treatment success among American Indian patients is novel, as no published studies of assisted reproductive technology or other fertility treatments have examined this subgroup separately. Further investigation of patient and clinical factors that may mediate racial/ethnic disparities in fertility treatment outcomes is warranted.

Little is known about the etiology of hepatoblastoma. We aimed to confirm the results of a previous study evaluating the association between parental occupational exposures and hepatoblastoma. In our case-control study, we identified cases (n=383) from the Children's Oncology Group and controls from birth certificates (n=387), which were frequency matched to cases on year and region of birth, sex, and birth weight. Occupational exposure in the year before and during the index pregnancy was collected through maternal interview and analyzed using unconditional logistic regression. The odds of both paternal and maternal "Likely" exposure to paints was elevated among cases compared with controls (paternal odds ratio (OR): 1.71, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.04, 2.81; maternal OR: 3.29, 95% CI: 0.32, 33.78) after adjustment for matching factors and the confounding factors of maternal race (maternal only) and household income. In addition, paternal exposure to other chemicals was also elevated when adjusting for matching factors only (OR: 1.53, 95% CI: 1.02, 2.30). The results of our study provide further evidence of an association between parental occupation and hepatoblastoma. These results warrant further investigation of the etiologically relevant timing of occupational exposure to fumes and chemicals related to hepatoblastoma.
