Human papillomavirus HPV is a leading cause of cervical cancer, and vaccination rates remain low due to lack of knowledge and misconceptions. This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the impact of video-based education, face-to-face education, and no education on participants understanding and willingness to get vaccinated. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups the video-based education group, which receives HPV information via a pre-recorded online video the face-to-face education group, which receives the same information in person from a researcher or a control group, which receives no education during the study. The educational content covers HPV infection, transmission, prevention, and vaccination following national health guidelines. Participants will complete surveys at three time points before the education pre-test to assess baseline knowledge and intention, immediately after the education session post-test to measure immediate impact, and one month later follow-up test to evaluate lasting effects. Data collected includes the HPV Knowledge Scale and Vaccination Attitude and Intention Form. The study monitors how education methods influence knowledge and vaccination intention over time, with no masking or blinding involved.
