  Purpose

The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is routinely recommended for both adolescent girls and boys starting at age 11, although it can be offered as young as 9 years of age. This is a 3-dose series and many adolescents do not complete it after getting the first dose. This study will study how effective it will be to send reminders to parents to schedule an appointment when their child is due for the next dose of HPV. Parents can chose whether they would like a phone call or text message reminder. This study will determine if the reminders work, and if one method is better than another (phone message vs. text message).

Further study details as provided by University of Rochester:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • HPV completion rate [ Time Frame: One Year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Post intervention HPV vaccination rates will be summarized by intervention group with frequencies and proportions, and will be compared between groups using chi square or Fisher's exact test as appropriate


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • HPV Dosing Intervals [ Time Frame: One Year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Dosing intervals will be summarized by group with mean, median, standard deviation and will be compared between groups using a two sample t-test.


Estimated Enrollment: 1640
Study Start Date: April 2012
