Intervention to Educate and Improve Underserved Populations' Uptake and Completion of the HPV Vaccine Series

Sponsor

University of Colorado, Denver

Enrollment

1,000 participants

Start Date

Aug 28, 2020

Study Type

Conditions

Human Papilloma Virus

Summary

The educational intervention to be delivered by the PN(Patient Navigator) consists of "toolkit education materials" developed by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and a small media intervention (i.e., video) that our research team has developed. The NCI-produced toolkit education materials consist of Power Point presentations, flyers, and posters that contain information about HPV(Human Papilloma Virus), HPV-related cancers, and the importance of the HPV vaccine series for adolescents (9-17 years old) and young adults (18-26 year old) who are eligible for the vaccine.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests an educational program delivered by patient navigators to encourage HPV vaccination in underserved patients at Denver Health clinics — targeting both young adults aged 18–26 who have not completed the vaccine series and parents of children aged 9–17 who haven't been vaccinated. The program uses educational materials from the National Cancer Institute and a video developed by the research team to explain HPV, related cancers, and the importance of completing the vaccine series. English- and Spanish-speaking patients or parents of children attending participating Denver Health community clinics who have not yet completed the HPV vaccine series are eligible. Participation involves an educational session with a trained health educator and a brief follow-up survey, with vaccine dose completion tracked through medical records. This summary was generated by AI to help patients understand the study in plain language.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALHPV Educational Intervention

The videos are 8-minute narrative films created using an entertainment-education (E-E) approach that embeds an educational narrative message into an entertainment format such as media. E-E narratives have demonstrated a significant effect (r = .12, p \< .001) on health behavior change. Evidence-based small media interventions that Dr. Borrayo has produced include videos that are highly verbal, visual, and entertaining (e.g., acted fictional stories). The aims of the video will be to model uptake of the HPV vaccine, but also to reinforce self-efficacy, subjective norms, and behavioral intentions, all significant precursors to behavior change.
