Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are English-speaking college students aged 18–26 who have never received any HPV vaccine doses.
✕Probably not a fit
Students who have already received HPV vaccination, are outside the 18–26 age range, or cannot understand English are unlikely to benefit from this intervention.

What this trial studies
Researchers will partner with college students and other stakeholders to co-design brief video messages about HPV vaccination tailored to young adults. The pilot will deliver these videos alongside CDC fact sheets to English-speaking, unvaccinated students at Michigan State University and collect data on acceptability, vaccination intent, and short-term vaccine initiation. Interventions include brief informational and motivational videos delivered digitally with follow-up reminders, and outcomes will compare pre- and post-intervention self-reports and vaccination records when available. Results will be used to refine low-cost, scalable approaches aimed at reducing HPV-related health disparities in young adults.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the videos could raise HPV vaccination rates among college students using a low-cost, scalable approach.
How similar studies have gone: Previous educational and digital interventions have shown modest success in improving HPV vaccine uptake in adolescents, but video-based, co-designed interventions focused on college students remain relatively novel.
