What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying different types of videos to see which ones help increase HPV vaccination rates among adolescents. This study compares informational animation videos, personal story videos, and combinations of both to find the most effective way to encourage HPV vaccine uptake. The research is sponsored by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and focuses on vaccination behavior. Participants are divided into five groups those who receive no videos, those who watch an informational animation video, those who watch a personal narrative video, those who watch a personal narrative video followed by an informational animation video, and those who watch the informational animation video followed by the personal narrative video. The personal narratives are tailored to match the participants race, ethnicity, and gender. During the study, participants vaccination status is tracked over a 9-month period to measure how many receive the HPV vaccine. The study involves surveys and viewing assigned videos on the participants device. Researchers monitor vaccine uptake as the primary outcome to understand the impact of different video approaches on HPV vaccination.
