Understanding HPV Vaccine Messaging for Parents in Flint, MI
This study is looking at how different types of health messages about the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine affect parents' willingness to vaccinate their daughters. Researchers are comparing "General HPV Vaccine Health Messaging," which is education-only, with "Culturally Targeted HPV Vaccine Health Messaging," which includes messages designed for specific cultural backgrounds. The goal is to see if culturally targeted messages can increase African American parents' intentions to vaccinate their daughters, especially since African American girls are less likely to complete the HPV vaccine series. You could join if you are a Black/African American or White/Caucasian parent with a daughter aged 8-17 who has not yet received the HPV vaccine. The study aims to understand how these messages impact attitudes and beliefs about the vaccine immediately and six months later. The current status of this study is unclear.
