Texts and ads aim to boost HPV shots for mexican american kids
NCT ID NCT02697396
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a social marketing campaign—with or without text message reminders—could increase the number of Mexican American children ages 9 to 17 who complete the full 3-dose HPV vaccine series. About 181 parents in the New York City area took part. The goal was to prevent HPV-related cancers by making vaccination easier and more appealing.
