Summary

This trial tests whether an AI chatbot can improve university students' knowledge about HPV, a common virus linked to several cancers. About 68 nursing students will receive either personalized chatbot education or standard written materials. Their HPV knowledge is measured before and after using a validated questionnaire. The goal is to see if interactive, tailored chatbot lessons work better than pamphlets for educating young adults.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
AI chatbot-based educational program
What this could lead to
If effective, AI chatbots could become a scalable tool to improve HPV awareness and vaccination uptake among young adults.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study in nursing students, so results may not apply to other groups. The chatbot's impact on real-world vaccination behavior is not measured.
