Human Papillomavirus Vaccines
Conditions
Brief summary
The objectives of the study are to pilot test a tailored intervention among Black families with adolescents. The hypotheses are that the study protocol will be feasible and messages tailored to parents' needs will increase vaccine confidence and intention to vaccinate.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALTailored messages
Messages will be individually tailored to parents' responses to a baseline survey (child gender, vaccination status) and real-time responses to interactive prompts about vaccine hesitancy determinants with links to additional information (e.g., CDC, NJ Department of Health) and community resources to overcome barriers.
BEHAVIORALStandard messages
Generic reminder/recall HPV vaccination messages.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Feasibility - Retention | Post intervention completion, 1 year | ratio of parents completing post-intervention surveys to the number enrolled |
| Feasibility - Intervention response | Two weeks after intervention completion | assessment of how often participants completed hesitancy questions across the intervention period |
| Feasibility - Intervention utility | Two weeks after intervention completion | Perceived ease of use, likeability, helpfulness, impact - Mobile App Rating Scale (1-inadequate, 2-poor, 3-acceptable, 4-good, and 5-excellent) |
| Feasibility - Recruitment | After enrollment completion, 6 months | ratio of parents recruited to potential parents approached to participate in study |
| Feasibility - Intervention Delivery | Two weeks after intervention begins | ratio of parents receiving HPV message to the number enrolled |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
