Summary

This study tests whether a short video of cancer survivors sharing their stories can encourage parents to get their 9- to 12-year-old children the HPV vaccine, which prevents certain cancers. About 200 parents of unvaccinated children will be randomly assigned to watch either the survivor video or a general health video before a doctor's visit. The main goal is to see if more children in the survivor-video group get their first HPV shot.
