Using e-Bug classroom education to boost HPV vaccine consent in a middle school
Official title: Pilot Observational Comparative Study Evaluating the Impact of the e-Bug Educational Programme on Parental Consent and HPV Vaccination Coverage During the National School-Based Vaccination Campaign in a Middle School in the Alpes-Maritimes
Run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice · NCT07266857 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project tests whether using the e-Bug classroom education in a French middle school helps increase parental consent and HPV vaccination rates among eligible students during the 2023–2025 school campaigns.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
The analysis concerns aggregated data for middle school students eligible for routine school-based HPV vaccination (early adolescents) at the pilot school and in the Alpes-Maritimes department.
✕Probably not a fit
Students outside the routine vaccination age range, those already up-to-date with HPV vaccination, or students at schools that did not use e-Bug would not see direct benefit from this pilot's findings.

What this trial studies
This is a non-interventional observational pilot using aggregated, anonymised vaccination data collected routinely by ARS PACA for the 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 national school-based HPV vaccination campaigns. The pilot school in the Alpes-Maritimes department had teachers and the school nurse already using e-Bug resources as part of routine health education; no new intervention was introduced or modified for research purposes. Aggregated vaccination consent and uptake from the pilot school are compared with departmental-level outcomes to describe whether upstream classroom education may be associated with differences in parental consent and vaccination coverage. No individual-level data or direct recruitment of students or families occurred for this analysis.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could increase parental consent and HPV vaccine uptake among middle school students, supporting broader school-based education as a tool to improve vaccination coverage.
How similar studies have gone: Previous school-based education and informational campaigns have sometimes increased parental consent or vaccine uptake, but results across studies have been mixed and often modest.
