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.
