Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical, anal and oro-pharyngeal cancer worldwide. The HPV vaccine can prevent over 90% of HPV-related malignancies but vaccination rates in the United State (US) vary significantly by region. In this study, we assessed whether state-level politics is associated with receipt of HPV vaccination in the US, and if the association is modified by sex and age. Methods This study analyzed data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey. Persons ages 18 to 36 years of age, who lived in 17 states that included the supplementary “Adult Human Papillomavirus (HPV)” module questionnaire in 2016, 2017 or 2018, were included. We compared self-reported receipt of HPV vaccination among persons living in Republican versus Democratic states, based on state electoral college votes in the 2016 US presidential election. Mantel-Haenszel stratified analysis was used to estimate prevalence ratios and to assess for effect modification and control for confounding. Results Overall, 36,334 survey respondents were included in the analysis, 22.7% of whom reported prior receipt of the HPV vaccine, 28.1% in Democratic states and 20.4% in Republican states. When adjusted for race, living in a Democratic state was associated with a higher prevalence of prior receipt of the HPV vaccine in comparison to living in a Republican state. This association was strongest for men less than 26 years of age (PR 1.77, 95% CI: 1.58, 1.98) but remained significant for men ages 26 – 36 years (PR 1.51, 95% CI: 1.24, 1.85), women less than 26 years of age (PR 1.20, 95% CI: 1.13, 1.27), and women ages 26 – 36 years (PR 1.69, 95% CI: 1.57, 1.83). Conclusion Overall HPV vaccine coverage was low in adults 18–36 years of age. The strong association between state-level voting patterns and prior receipt of the HPV vaccine suggests that HPV vaccine coverage is lower in Republican states when compared to Democratic states. Further public health efforts are needed to promote HPV vaccine uptake among young men and women, particularly in Republican voting states. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures
