New strategies help more teens get HPV vaccine
NCT ID NCT03726151
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested different ways to help teenagers complete the HPV vaccine series at community health centers serving low-income families. Researchers compared parent reminders (by mail and text), clinic system changes, and a combination of both against usual care. Over 17,000 teens aged 11-17 took part, and the goal was to see which approach worked best to protect against HPV-related cancers.
