Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for parents of 10- to 12-year-olds who haven't had the HPV vaccine and visit participating Florida clinics. It's also for providers giving primary care to this age group at these clinics. Adolescents outside this age range, those opted-out of texts, or without a cell number on file can't join.

I am between 10 and 12 years old and have visited a clinic in the last two years.

Exclusion Criteria

My guardians or I are willing to consent to participation.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• Brief Provider Training - Benefits Approach
• Brief Provider Training - Bundled Approach
• Parent Interactive Text Message - Benefits Approach
• Parent Interactive Text Message - Bundled Approach

Trial Overview The study tests two methods to increase HPV vaccination rates: one sends educational text messages to parents, and the other provides brief training to clinicians. The goal is to see if these approaches encourage vaccinations in 11-12 year olds.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Deferred-clinician training and bundled text messages Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Clinicians will receive training after the study and parents will receive bundled text messages.

Group II: Deferred-clinician training and benefits text messages Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Clinicians will receive training after the study and parents will receive benefits text messages.

Group III: Bundled clinician training and no text messages Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Clinicians will receive bundled approach training and parents will not receive any intervention text messages.

Group IV: Bundled clinician training and bundled text messages Experimental Treatment 2 Interventions

Clinicians will receive bundled approach training and parents will receive bundled text messages.

Group V: Bundled clinician training and benefits text messages Experimental Treatment 2 Interventions

Clinicians will receive bundled approach training and parents will receive benefits text messages.

Group VI: Benefits clinician training and no text messages Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Clinicians will receive benefits approach training and parents will not receive any intervention text messages.

Group VII: Benefits clinician training and bundled text messages Experimental Treatment 2 Interventions

Clinicians will receive benefits approach training and parents will receive bundled text messages.

Group VIII: Benefits clinician training and benefits text messages Experimental Treatment 2 Interventions
