What this trial studies
This phase IV trial evaluates the effectiveness of an educational intervention aimed at increasing the acceptance and completion rates of free HPV vaccinations among underserved adult patients at the Volunteer in Medicine Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. The study involves providing educational materials about HPV and its associated risks, followed by offering the HPV vaccine to interested participants.
