Official title
Normalizing Preteen HPV Vaccination With Practice-based Communication Strategies
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States and causes genital warts and cancers in both females and males. Vaccination against HPV is recommended for routine use in those aged 11-12 years old, yet is underutilized. The study's premise is that preteens are relevant decision makers who can be motivated to initiate and complete the HPV vaccine series (assuming parental consent and provider recommendation). This study evaluates a serious video game to engage preteens in the decision to pursue HPV vaccination. The hypothesis is that preteens who are assigned to the video game will be more likely to initiate and complete HPV vaccination than preteens who are not assigned to the video game.
