Vax Facts Human Papillomavirus (HPV): Study of a Computer-based Tailoring System and Mothers' Intentions to Vaccinate Their Daughters Against HPV
Vax Facts Human Papillomavirus (HPV): Study of a Computer-based Tailoring System and Mothers' Intentions to Vaccinate Their Daughters Against HPV
The goal of this study is to determine whether a two-page print brochure that delivers
 individually tailored educational messages about the Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine
 increases HPV vaccine-hesitant mothers' intentions to have their adolescent daughters
 vaccinated against HPV.
This will be a randomized controlled intervention trial for HPV vaccine-hesitant mothers of
 adolescent (ages 11-15 years old) girls. Mothers will complete a three-item measure that
 assesses their baseline intentions for having their adolescent daughter vaccinated against
 HPV. Mothers will then fill out a short, computer-based survey that assesses demographic
 factors, prior experience with HPV-associated illnesses and views about a variety of
 potential barriers to HPV vaccination. Following the survey, the intervention group (40
 mothers) will receive a two-page print brochure that uses their survey data to generate the
 brochure such that it addresses each mother's top three concerns about the HPV vaccine. The
 control group (40 mothers) will receive a generic, two-page brochure that is similar in
 appearance to the intervention, but contains only untailored, generic information about the
 vaccine. HPV vaccination intention will be assessed a second time after reading the brochure,
 using the same three-item measure as before the survey. The vaccine administration records of
 the adolescent daughters of these mothers will be accessed three months after mothers'
 participation in the study to assess whether any HPV vaccine doses were provided.
