Summary
This study tests whether a short educational session plus weekly text reminders can increase HPV vaccination rates among children of Mexican-American parents. About 672 parents will be randomly assigned to receive either education alone or education plus text reminders. The goal is to prevent HPV-related cancers by making sure kids complete the vaccine series.
