Feasibility Trial for Protect Me 4 Application to Increase HPV Vaccination
This study is testing a new electronic application (app) called Protect Me 4. This app is designed to help parents and healthcare providers have better conversations about the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, which can prevent certain cancers. The study wants to see if the Protect Me 4 app can be successfully used in clinics and if it helps more adolescents get their first HPV vaccine dose. You can join if you are a parent of an 11-12 year old, a healthcare provider, or an adolescent in that age range, and can speak English. The study will measure how easy the app is to use and how many people start the HPV vaccine after using it. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
