Texting vs. gaming: which app boosts HPV shots for nigerian girls?
NCT ID NCT07498075
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether digital tools like chatbots, games, and videos can help parents in Nigeria decide to vaccinate their daughters against HPV, a virus that can cause cervical cancer. About 3,340 parents of unvaccinated girls aged 9-14 will be randomly assigned to try one of these tools or read standard health information. Researchers will measure how much parents intend to vaccinate right after and one week later, and check if they actually get the vaccine after 6 months.
