About this study

This study will test whether a tailored, online educational intervention increases HPV vaccine uptake and intent among female college students.

Read the detailed description

MeFirst is the first web-based, online, educational tool designed to promote Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine awareness and understanding in an effort to improve HPV vaccine intent and uptake among female university students. HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection and causes genital warts and cancer. The HPV vaccine has been recommended for girls ages 11-26 since 2006, yet vaccination rates remain low. Tailored online interventions may be more effective tools to promote behavior change among college students than traditional static interventions. The proposed study is a randomized controlled trial testing the efficacy of the MeFirst tool vs. standard static educational material on increasing HPV vaccination intent and uptake among female university students aged 18-26.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MeFirst Tailored InterventionBehavioural

    Participants will be lead through MeFirst, an interactive web-based tool that is tailored to their responses during the survey. This tool provides information regarding HPV Vaccination.

Study groups in NCT01769560
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Fact SheetNo interventionParticipants will receive the CDC Fact sheet about HPV vaccination while they are taking the survey.
MeFirst InterventionExperimentalParticipants will receive a tailored website regarding their own individualized risk for HPV and information about HPV Vaccination while they are taking the survey as opposed to receiving the CDC fact sheet. This tailored website is generated based on answers provided by each subject in the baseline survey.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Determine the effect of the MeFirst tool, a tailored, online HPV vaccination decision-making guide, on HPV vaccination intention and/or uptake.

    Intention will be assessed on a five-point scale immediately after and at 3 and 12 months. Uptake will be assessed by yes/no/don't know response to the statement, "I have received at least 1 dose of the HPV vaccine" at 3 and 12 months.

    Measured: Immediately post intervention, 3 months and 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Determine the effect of the MeFirst tool on HPV-related knowledge.

    Comparing 5 or 10-point scales measuring participants' HPV-related knowledge (HPV, HPV vaccination, and cervical cancer) immediately post-intervention and at 3 months and 12 months.

    Measured: Immediately post intervention, 3 months and 12 months
