NCT ID NCT06738355
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested different outreach methods—like automated calls, texts, and emails—to encourage parents in rural areas to get their children (ages 9-17) the HPV vaccine. The study involved 335 parents and caregivers at four community clinics in rural Washington. The main goal was to see if a larger, full-scale trial is possible, not yet to prove the outreach works.
