Official Title: The Impact of an Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) Based Educational Intervention to Improve Gardasil Use in a Population of Undergraduate Women

Brief Summary: HPV infections are prominent among college-aged women. Although HPV vaccines decrease women's risk for cervical cancer, vaccination rates remain inadequate. This study explored the utility of an Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills intervention in promoting HPV vaccination knowledge, motivation, and behavioral skills among college aged women.

Detailed Summary:

HPV infections are prominent among college-aged women. Although HPV vaccines decrease women's risk for cervical cancer, vaccination rates remain inadequate. This study explored the utility of an Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills intervention in promoting HPV vaccination knowledge, motivation, and behavioral skills among college aged women.

Methods: Participants were randomly assigned to a single-session intervention or attention-control arm and were assessed at pre-intervention, post-intervention, and at 1-month follow-up.

Sponsor: University of Connecticut

Current Primary Outcome:

• HPV, Cervical Cancer, and HPV Vaccine Knowledge Questionnaire [ Time Frame: One month ]
  Consistent with studies based on the IMB model,, participants were assessed on their level of knowledge regarding information about HPV, the HPV vaccine, and cervical cancer.
• Vaccination Motivation Questionnaire [ Time Frame: One month ]
  Consistent with studies based on the IMB model, motivation to get vaccinated was assessed through five questionnaires to measure different aspects of motivation: perceived motivation, attitudes related to getting vaccinated, perceived social norms to getting vaccinated, behavioral intentions, and perceived risk for HPV/cervical cancer.
• Behavioral Skills Questionnaire [ Time Frame: One Month ]
  Consistent with studies based on the IMB model, participants' belief and confidence in their ability to get vaccinated were assessed with questions adapted from these studies.

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: Behavioral uptake of the HPV vaccine Questionnaire [ Time Frame: One month ]

Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
