Evaluation of the Impact of a HPV Vaccination Talk with Third Grade Students

Evaluation of the Impact of a HPV Vaccination Talk with Third Grade Students on Their Papillomavirus Vaccination Coverage.

This is a prospective pragmatic study to assess the impact of a HPV vaccination talk in secondary school on actual vaccine dispensing in test communes compared with control communes. The talk consist on a briefing on the importance of vaccination.

This is a controlled study, since two communes will benefit from the HPV vaccination talk, while the other two will serve as controls without set up of the HPV vaccination talk. The set up of this presentation will be open-label.

The main aim of the present study is to investigate the impact of HPV vaccination talk with 3rd grade school children on HPV vaccine dispensing by making them actors in their own health. A significant benefit on vaccination coverage is expected. In addition, a flyer providing information and raising awareness of infections and the benefits of HPV vaccination will be sent to parents at the end of the talk.

Inclusion Criteria:

• 3rd grade students enrolled in public secondary schools in Suresnes and Rueil-Malmaison.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Students absent on the day of the talk.
• Students unwilling/unable to complete questionnaire.
