Summary

This study tests whether a campaign designed and run by high school students can increase HPV vaccination in Chambers County, Alabama, which has the state's highest cervical cancer rate. Twenty-nine students will create and spread messages through multiple channels to encourage their peers to get the HPV vaccine. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and could be scaled up to other rural areas.
