HPV Vaccination

Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility of intervention implementation in two clinics in rural KY, and its preliminary efficacy with regards to increasing vaccine confidence in a sample of vaccine hesitant parents. Hypothesis: Parents will report increased vaccine confidence scores post-intervention. Data from this study will provide preliminary data for a larger scale evaluation of the intervention. Participants will be asked to complete surveys, view a web-based intervention and then visit with their child's healthcare provider.

Detailed description

Participants will be asked to complete a brief screening assessment to establish their eligibility for participation. Eligible participants will be asked to complete a consent form and be directed to the pre-test survey. Upon completion of the survey, the participants will be directed to the tailored intervention content, including the Parents' Stories videos. This step will be completed prior to interaction with the provider. During the provider-patient visit, the provider will deliver the elaborated prompt portion of the intervention to participating mothers. Mothers will receive a link to the post-test survey two weeks following their appointment.
