Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

HPV infections are prominent among college-aged women. Although HPV vaccines decrease women's risk for cervical cancer, vaccination rates remain inadequate. This study explored the utility of an Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills intervention in promoting HPV vaccination knowledge, motivation, and behavioral skills among college aged women.

Detailed Description

HPV infections are prominent among college-aged women. Although HPV vaccines decrease women's risk for cervical cancer, vaccination rates remain inadequate. This study explored the utility of an Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills intervention in promoting HPV vaccination knowledge, motivation, and behavioral skills among college aged women.

Methods: Participants were randomly assigned to a single-session intervention or attention-control arm and were assessed at pre-intervention, post-intervention, and at 1-month follow-up.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

IMB Intervention Group

The IMB group received an HPV Vaccination Information Statement (VIS) often given to individuals prior to vaccination. In addition, they received the following:

1. Additional educational content related to HPV, Cervical Cancer, and HPV vaccination,
2. Motivational content to help identify and problem-solve benefits and barriers to vaccination,
3. Skills-building content, including brief communication skills training and ways to access the vaccine.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

IMB Intervention Group

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants in the IMB group received information specific to HPV, cervical cancer, and the HPV vaccine. This information was delivered in a group setting, and it was delivered via a PowerPoint presentation that included short video clips.

Attention Control Group

The attention control group also received an HPV Vaccination Information Statement (VIS) often given to individuals prior to vaccination. In addition, to maintain consistency with the treatment's presentation format, participants watched a set of short video clips encompassing aspects of women's general and sexual health.
