What this trial studies

This exploratory mixed-methods study uses existing survey data, cancer registry information, and patient interviews to understand how factors such as travel burden, finances, health literacy, and other local conditions influence where survivors receive care and whether they pursue HPV vaccination. It employs a Conceptual Model of Healthcare Access to guide analysis within a Utah rural setting, with potential relevance to other states facing similar geographic and healthcare challenges. The intervention consists of microvideos designed to educate and motivate vaccination, evaluated across Aim 1 focus groups and Aim 2 social media delivery to assess feasibility and reach among unvaccinated survivors aged 18–26. Participants must be childhood cancer survivors diagnosed by age 26 and not yet fully vaccinated, with English proficiency and Facebook access required. The University of Utah leads the trial with collaboration from the Prevent Cancer Foundation and Huntsman Cancer Institute.
