Brief summary
This study will examine the feasibility and acceptability of an innovative game-based intervention designed for families of youth aged 11-14 to promote HPV vaccination; will explore changes in key outcomes and related measures; and will identify factors contributing to or impeding effective implementation in health clinic settings. The intervention and its approach have the potential to reduce health disparities in HPV-associated cancers in youth via low-cost technology and timely intervention.
Detailed description
Guided by Social Cognitive Theory, we propose to 1. examine the feasibility and acceptability of a new HPV preventive intervention, the HPV Detective video game, designed for youth and their parents; 2. explore pre-post, intervention-related change in vaccine intent and uptake as well as change in theoretically posited intervention mediators; and 3. assess the potential for broader intervention implementation. Using a sequential mixed-methods, 2-group (intervention vs usual care), longitudinal design, 64 parent-youth dyads (32/per study condition) will be recruited. Parent-youth dyads in the intervention will play HPV Detective (tablet format) at the clinic prior to the healthcare provider visits. The control dyads will receive standard clinic treatment.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of eligible individuals agreeing to participate | 2 years | Assessed by the % of eligible individuals agreeing to participate |
| Percentage of eligible individuals who complete the intervention (intervention arm only) and assessments (all participants) | 2 years | Assessed by the % of eligible individuals who complete the intervention and assessments |
| Ease of use (intervention arm only) | 2 years | (1) device-recorded time to complete interactive modules and the full game; (2) self reported easy of use |
| Parent and child acceptability of the intervention (intervention arm only) | 2 years | Assessed by a 12-item Likert scale. |
| Intention to vaccinate the child against HPV | 2 years | Assessed by a Likert scale question: how likely will you (parent) vaccinate your child against HPV? Responses: (1) Very unlikely to (5) Very likely |
| Child vaccination status (1st & 2nd doses). | 2 years | Assessed by one binary (yes/no) question regarding whether or not the child has received the 1st \& 2nd dose of HPV vaccine. |
