New digital program aims to boost HPV vaccination in vietnamese american teens
NCT ID NCT07637630
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests four digital tools—expert videos, self-persuasion tasks, storytelling, and motivational interviewing—to help Vietnamese parents in the U.S. get their teens the HPV vaccine. About 96 parents of unvaccinated adolescents will try different combinations of these tools. The goal is to see which tools are most helpful and acceptable, with the hope of increasing vaccination and preventing HPV-related cancers.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- digital health intervention (expert video, self-persuasion, narrative storytelling, motivational interviewing)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide an effective, culturally tailored digital tool to increase HPV vaccination rates among Vietnamese American teens, potentially reducing HPV-related cancers in this community.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 96 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral, not a medical treatment, and its impact on actual vaccination rates is uncertain.
