Study Summary

This trial will test whether a tailored, health communication intervention can increase HPV vaccination rates among underserved, vaccine hesitant parents.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for parents at Meharry Medical College who previously refused HPV vaccination for their kids aged 11-18, own a smartphone, speak English, and have an upcoming clinic appointment. Healthcare providers involved in primary care to this age group are also eligible. Those with vaccinated children or never offered the vaccine, non-English speakers, and without smartphones or scheduled visits cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a mobile phone-based web-page intervention designed to educate and encourage HPV vaccine-hesitant parents to vaccinate their adolescents against HPV. It aims to see if tailored health communication before doctor's visits can increase vaccination rates among these families.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves educational material rather than medical treatment, there are no direct side effects like those associated with drugs or vaccines. However, participants may experience changes in attitudes towards vaccinations.
