Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are Vietnamese American or immigrant women (18+) who are primary caregivers of at least one unvaccinated child aged 11-14, and who can read/speak English or Vietnamese.

Probably not a fit

Participants whose children are already vaccinated or who do not respond to the intervention may see no direct benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The trial compares two 4-week video programs delivered to Vietnamese American mothers who are primary caregivers of unvaccinated kids. One program uses digital storytelling created by Vietnamese mothers; the other uses general teen health topics. Participants complete online surveys, and their child’s HPV vaccination status is checked two months after the intervention to see if vaccination uptake increased. The study uses a randomized, 2-arm design with 60 participants and aims to assess feasibility, acceptability, and changes in vaccination intention and behavior. Follow-up includes interviews to refine future efforts.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the program could increase HPV vaccination rates among VA youth by providing culturally relevant, mother-focused messaging.

How similar studies have gone: Past work in similar culturally tailored video interventions has shown promise in changing vaccination intentions in some communities, though results vary by population.
