NCT ID NCT06161831
Summary
This study is testing whether sending text message or automated phone call reminders to parents helps adolescent girls in Uganda start and finish their HPV vaccine series. HPV vaccination prevents cervical cancer, which is the leading female cancer in Uganda, but many girls do not complete the required vaccine doses. Researchers will compare vaccination rates between families who receive the reminders and those who do not.
