Rural kentucky parents get help deciding on HPV vaccine
NCT ID NCT06704308
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests a program to help parents in rural Kentucky feel more confident about the HPV vaccine for their teens. About 58 vaccine-hesitant mothers or female guardians will use a web app with short videos and then talk to their child's doctor, who will use special prompts. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and can increase vaccine confidence and knowledge.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Web application with narrative videos and provider prompts
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could help more teens get the HPV vaccine, reducing cancer risk in rural communities.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early feasibility study (58 people) in just two clinics. Results may not apply elsewhere, and the intervention may not actually change vaccination rates.
