NCT ID NCT05006833
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether text messages to parents and a brief training for healthcare providers can increase HPV vaccination rates among 11- and 12-year-olds. The study involves over 8,000 adolescents and their parents across Florida clinics. Some clinics will use both interventions, while others will use only one or none, to see which approach works best.
