HPV vaccine study tests if combining personal stories with facts gets more teens vaccinated
NCT ID NCT06587243
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether showing parents of unvaccinated 11-17 year olds a combination of personal HPV stories and informational videos increases the number of teens who get the HPV vaccine. Over 1,100 parents will be randomly assigned to watch either an informational video, a personal story video, or both. The main goal is to see which approach leads to more teens actually getting vaccinated.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Informational animation video and personal narrative video
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could provide a simple, scalable way to increase HPV vaccination rates and prevent HPV-related cancers.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral study, not a medical trial, so results depend on how well the videos persuade parents. The effect may vary across different populations.
