What this Trial Is About
The goal of this study is to find out if adding HPV vaccination to adolescent health services works to increase HPV vaccine uptake in 10-13-year-old girls in Laos. The study will also look at the effects of adding HPV vaccination on the use of other health services in 10-13-year-old boys and girls. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. Does adding HPV vaccination to adolescent health services increase HPV vaccine uptake in girls aged 10-13 years compared to girls who only receive standard HPV vaccination services? 2. Does adding HPV vaccination to adolescent health services increase the use of other health services in 10-13-year-old adolescent boys and girls compared to adolescents who only receive standard HPV vaccination services? 3. What are the barriers and facilitators to using the combined intervention in Laos? 4. What are the opinions of adolescents, caregivers, healthcare providers, and other stakeholders on the combined intervention? 5. How much does it cost and how well it works to combine HPV vaccination with adolescent health services, as opposed to providing HPV vaccination alone? Researchers will compare a combined intervention to standard HPV vaccination services to see if the combined intervention works to increase HPV vaccination uptake and the use of other health services. The combined intervention includes HPV vaccination given at schools, health facilities, and through community outreach. It also includes education on sexual and reproductive health, counseling, and other health services. Participants in the combined intervention group will: 1. Receive the HPV vaccine at school or at a health facility. 2. Take part in group discussions about sexual and reproductive health. 3. Take part in individual counseling sessions. 4. Use other health services as needed. Participants in the comparison group will receive standard HPV vaccination services, including: • HPV vaccination given at schools, health facilities, and through community outreach.
