Culturally Tailored HPV Psychoeducational Multimedia Intervention

Implementing Innovative and Strategic Approaches to Prevent and Mitigate the Deleterious Effects of HPV Across the Lifespan of Hispanics of Mexican Origin: Community Intervention

Community members ages 18 - 45 years old from the El Paso, Texas, U.S.-Mexico Border Region will be recruited to compare psychoeducational multimedia interventions focused on the human papillomavirus (HPV). Our hypothesis is that adults who view culturally tailored multimedia stories encouraging HPV vaccination will report higher vaccine uptake rates.

A sample of vaccine-naive (unvaccinated or under-vaccinated) adult community members ages 18 - 45 years old from the El Paso, Texas, U.S.-Mexico Border Region, will be recruited to participate in a human papillomavirus (HPV) multi-media intervention. Hypothesis: Vaccine-eligible adults who view culturally tailored multimedia stories encouraging HPV vaccination will report significantly stronger vaccine intentions and, subsequently, significantly higher vaccine uptake rates when compared to vaccine-eligible adults exposed to a standard HPV vaccination fact sheet and generic HPV vaccine videos.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adults between the ages 18 and 45 years old
• Adults who have not completed the HPV vaccine series (unvaccinated or under-vaccinated)
• Adults currently living or working in El Paso County, Texas

Exclusion Criteria:

• Adults who participated in Phases I or II of the larger research project [cross-sectional phases]
• Adults younger than 18 years of age
• Adults older than 45 years of age
• Adults that do not reside, plan to live or work in El Paso County, Texas, within the next 12 months after the start of the intervention
• Adults who are unable to participate in the full study intervention and follow-up time-points
• Adults who cannot complete study participation and activities in either the English or Spanish languages.
