Developing a Self-persuasion Intervention Promoting Adolescent HPV Vaccination

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Human Papillomavirus Vaccines

In brief

HPV vaccine coverage among adolescents in the US is suboptimal. This is particularly true among traditionally underserved adolescents. Few parent-targeted interventions have focused on the parental decision-making process. Self-persuasion, generating one's own arguments for engaging in a behavior, may be an effective means to influence parents' motivation to vaccinate their children. In a three-phase study, investigators are using quantitative and qualitative research methods to develop and refine a tablet-based self-persuasion intervention for parents who are undecided about the HPV vaccine. This clinical trial submission focuses on the second phase of the study. The results of the second phase will inform the third phase of the trial (also registered in clinical trials).
