First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a community-driven campaign to increase HPV prevention among mother-daughter pairs in Nigeria. About 1,838 participants will take part in events and surveys. The goal is to get more girls vaccinated against HPV and more mothers to self-test for the virus, which can lead to cervical cancer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- community engagement campaign (behavioural intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could increase HPV vaccination rates in girls and HPV self-testing in mothers, helping prevent cervical cancer in communities.
- What could go wrong
- This is a pragmatic trial in Nigeria, so results may not apply elsewhere. The campaign's success depends on community participation, and the study does not test a new drug or vaccine.
