Culturally Tailored HPV Psychoeducational Multimedia Intervention

University of Texas, El Paso63 enrolled

Overview

Community members ages 18 - 45 years old from the El Paso, Texas, U.S.-Mexico Border Region will be recruited to compare psychoeducational multimedia interventions focused on the human papillomavirus (HPV). Our hypothesis is that adults who view culturally tailored multimedia stories encouraging HPV vaccination will report higher vaccine uptake rates.

A sample of vaccine-naive (unvaccinated or under-vaccinated) adult community members ages 18 - 45 years old from the El Paso, Texas, U.S.-Mexico Border Region, will be recruited to participate in a human papillomavirus (HPV) multi-media intervention. Hypothesis: Vaccine-eligible adults who view culturally tailored multimedia stories encouraging HPV vaccination will report significantly stronger vaccine intentions and, subsequently, significantly higher vaccine uptake rates when compared to vaccine-eligible adults exposed to a standard HPV vaccination fact sheet and generic HPV vaccine videos.
