About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether short videos can help Vietnamese American mothers decide to vaccinate their children against HPV (human papillomavirus). The study will explore: (1) whether different interventions influence mothers' intentions and decisions regarding HPV vaccination for their children; (2) how mothers perceive and engage with the videos; and (3) how many children receive the HPV vaccine after their mothers watch the videos.
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: (a) watch four short digital stories about the HPV vaccine created by Vietnamese mothers; or (b) watch four short videos on general teen health topics such as mental health and social media use. Participants will complete brief surveys and their child's HPV vaccination status will be checked two months after the intervention.
