About this trial

HPV vaccines offer hope against HPV-associated cancers for males and females; however, the rate of vaccination has not reached projected public health goals. This study will engage key stakeholders in the research process to co-design and pilot testing a video-based intervention addressing low HPV vaccination rates among college students The intervention and its approach have the potential to reduce health disparities in HPV-associated cancers in young adults via low-cost technology and timely intervention.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • short videos related to HPV and the HPV vaccine

    Other intervention

    Eight college students created and developed four videos on human papillomavirus (HPV) and the HPV vaccine, designed to increase their knowledge and attitude, shape subjective norms, enhance perceived behavioral control, and strengthen intentions to receive the HPV vaccine. Two months after the video intervention, we will follow up with participants to collect their self-reported vaccine uptake status. Outcomes will be compared with those of another group whose participants will watch a video presenting CDC information on HPV and the HPV vaccine, adapted into a narrated voiceover format.

  • CDC HPV Fact Sheet

    Other intervention

    We did not develop this intervention. Instead, we will use information from the CDC website on HPV and the HPV vaccine and convert it into a video with a narrated voiceover format. Because our student advisory board will develop four short videos, participants who are randomly assigned to the CDC fact sheet group will watch the converted CDC video four times to ensure that all groups are exposed to the same number of videos.
