Study Summary

This trial aims to evaluate how well a program called ECA-HPV works in increasing HPV vaccination rates and satisfaction over a 16-month period. The study will also compare the effectiveness of clinic notification

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals dealing with warts or human papillomavirus (HPV). The study aims to include a diverse group of participants, but specific eligibility criteria are not provided in the information given.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing an app called ECA-HPV in different configurations: with clinic notifications and adolescent functions either enabled or disabled. It compares these against usual care over 16 months to see if they increase HPV vaccine uptake and satisfaction.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves a digital application rather than medication, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be privacy concerns or potential stress related to using the app.

5Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: ECA-HPV App with Clinic Notification and Adolescent Functions EnabledExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will receive the full ECA-HPV (Embodied Conversational Agent adapted for this project) system on their smartphone app, which includes both the clinic notification and adolescent functions enabled. With the clinic notification function enabled, parent/guardian participants can communicate their concerns, questions, and logistical barriers to the clinic staff. Adolescent participants receive the adolescent version of the ECA-HPV app, which includes age-appropriate education and adolescent-focused engagement features, like games. An internet-based measure, REDCap, will be used for parent/guardian and adolescent participants to complete surveys at baseline, after the index well child visit, and after the second well child visit.
Group II: ECA-HPV App with Clinic Notification and Adolescent Functions DisabledExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The ECA-HPV (Embodied Conversational Agent adapted for this project) system comprises of a smartphone-based ECA parent/guardian interface, where the parent/guardian participants can receive HPV vaccine promotion and counseling from an interactive agent. The clinic notification feature is disabled on the app. Adolescent participants do not receive the adolescent version of the ECA-HPV app. An internet-based measure, REDCap, will be used for parent/guardian and adolescent participants to complete surveys at baseline, after the index well child visit, and after the second well child visit.
Group III: ECA-HPV App with Clinic Notification Function EnabledExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The ECA-HPV (Embodied Conversational Agent adapted for this project) system comprises of a smartphone-based ECA parent/guardian interface, where the parent/guardian participants can receive HPV vaccine promotion and counseling from an interactive agent. With the clinic notification function enabled, parent/guardian participants can communicate their concerns, questions, and logistical barriers to the clinic staff. Adolescent participants do not receive the adolescent version of the ECA-HPV app. An internet-based measure, REDCap, will be used for parent/guardian and adolescent participants to complete surveys at baseline, after the index well child visit, and after the second well child visit.
Group IV: ECA-HPV App with Adolescent Function EnabledExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The ECA-HPV (Embodied Conversational Agent adapted for this project) system comprises of a smartphone-based ECA parent/guardian interface, where the parent/guardian participants can receive HPV vaccine promotion and counseling from an interactive agent. Adolescent participants receive the adolescent version of the ECA-HPV app, which includes age-appropriate education and adolescent-focused engagement features, like games. The clinic notification feature is disabled on both the parent/guardian and adolescent apps. An internet-based measure, REDCap, will be used for parent/guardian and adolescent participants to complete surveys at baseline, after the index well child visit, and after the second well child visit.
Group V: Usual CareActive Control1 Intervention
An internet-based measure, REDCap, will be used for parent/guardian and adolescent participants to complete surveys at baseline, after the index well child visit, and after the second well child visit. Both parent/guardian and adolescent participants do not have access to the ECA-HPV app. Adolescent participants will receive usual standard of care.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What are the principal goals that this medical study aims to achieve?

"The primary endpoint of this clinical investigation, to be assessed over a period spanning approximately 16 months, is the completion of the HPV vaccination series within the intervention cohorts. Additional aims consist of evaluating HPV attitudes among both parent/guardian and adolescent subjects in three surveys conducted at baseline (T0), after the initial well-child visit (T1), and following the subsequent well-child visit (T2). These surveys will be administered via REDCap. Comparative analysis between T0 outcomes and those at T1 and T2 will also extend to general vaccine perceptions among parent/guardian participants as well as assessing their knowledge regarding HPV across these time points"
