  1. HPV Human papillomavirus, RD Risk difference, CI Confidence interval
  2. a Receipt of at least one dose of HPV vaccine
  3. b Risk differences are estimated with linear binomial regression. The model included country background, year of birth, parental education level, household income, number of siblings, maternal age at time of daughter’s birth, region of residence, and interaction terms between country background and parental education level. RDs correspond to the difference in HPV vaccine uptake between girls with higher parental education and girls with lower parental education
