Official Title: A Pilot Study Comparing the Effectiveness of On-site Campus Interventions to Increase the Uptake of the HPV Three-shot Series Vaccine Among College Aged Men: A 2 X 2 Repeated Design

Brief Summary:

This is a study testing what type of message and access influences a young male to get the HPV vaccine.

The investigators are conducting a 2 X 2 design

These conditions are:

  • Condition 1: Altruistic personal with direct recommendation inside-dorm
  • Condition 2: Generic message with inside-dorm
  • Condition 3: Generic message with outside-dorm HPV vaccine
  • Condition 4: Altruistic personal with outside-dorm HPV vaccine

The objectives of this study are:

A. To examine the efficacy in encouraging young men to receive HPV shots at Time 1 within each of the four intervention conditions (altruistic/personal with direct recommendation vs. generic message) X (in-dorm vs. outside-dorm HPV vaccine).

B. To examine the efficacy in encouraging young men to receive HPV shots at Times 2 & 3 within each of the four intervention conditions (altruistic/personal with direct recommendation vs. generic message) X (in-dorm vs. outside-dorm HPV vaccine).

2.1.1 List the clinical hypotheses. Objective A H A.1: At Time 1, college men who have immediate access to the HPV vaccination will take the vaccination at a higher rate than those who do not have immediate access to the vaccine.

H A.2: At Time 1, college men who receive an altruistic/personal health message along with immediate access to the HPV vaccine will take the HPV vaccination at a higher rate than the men in the other three arms of the study.
