Texts and calls aim to boost Cancer-Preventing shots in rural areas

NCT ID NCT06738355

Summary

This study tested whether sending reminders to parents could help more children in rural areas get vaccinated against HPV, a virus that can cause several cancers. Researchers worked with four community clinics to send automated texts, calls, letters, or live calls to over 300 parents of kids aged 9-17. The main goal was to see if this reminder system was practical to run, as a first step toward a larger effort to reduce cancer risks in underserved communities.
