Study Arms (1)

Brief HPV vaccine informational intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Because we anticipated that knowledge and awareness of the HPV vaccine would be low in our study population, our CASI survey included a brief, informational overview of key facts concerning HPV vaccination prior to assessing vaccine acceptance, perceived barriers to vaccination, and intentions to vaccinate. The overview lasted approximately 3 minutes and consisted of a brief overview of key HPV vaccination facts that were presented visually (on the computer screen) and read aloud using a digital recording. HPV and vaccine knowledge, awareness, and attitudes items were administered prior to participants hearing the informational overview.

Behavioral: brief informational intervention to promote HPV vaccine acceptance

Interventions
