This project is designed to test the effectiveness of cultural and individual tailoring on decisions about HPV vaccines. (01/01/2013 - 12/31/2015)
PI: Antonia M. Villarruel, PhD, RN FAAN
This project builds off a previous intervention developed by Dr. Villaruel that is designed to teach parents how to talk to their teenagers about safer sex and preventing HIV and STIs. CHCR is providing consultation about how to make the existing program more interactive for the participants. (12/01/2012 - 11/30/2017)
The overarching research question is to investigate whether message tailoring affects the uptake of the HPV vaccine in a young adult population. In the current pilot study investigators hope to effectively design internet-based HPV vaccine materials that are adaptable for specific tailoring in future research based on our results.

This intervention seeks to improve adolescent vaccine uptake. The intervention includes:Reminder / recall systems to alert parents and providers about when vaccine doses are neededA tailored educational web-based tool to parents to address the barrier of their unique attitudes about vaccines that hinder utilization (09/01/2010 - 08/31/2014)
MeFirst aims to develop and refine a tailored risk communication intervention to improve HPV vaccination uptake in young adult women ages 18-26 when administered during a teachable moment. The teachable moment is a spontaneously occurring health event that serves as a natural educational gateway. The potential effects of this intervention on HPV vaccine utilization in a hard-to-reach age group enhances system-based interventions that can be more broadly applied or generalized to other health interventions targeted to young adults or other health settings.

Healthy Moms Healthy Daughters investigates the efficacy of an individually tailored web-based intervention to improve human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates among adolescent daughters of African American women. This study has potential high impact in reducing racial disparities in cervical cancer incidence and mortality. It addresses a significant public health issue by improving HPV vaccination in an at-risk population with a disproportionate incidence of (HPV) caused cervical cancer. (05/01/2010 - 07/31/2011)

Vax Facts offers a tailored brochure to address parents' concerns about HPV vaccines. The intervention draws on our previous data on reasons parents decline HPV vaccines for their daughters. This data is used to develop questions and responses that elicit and address parental beliefs that hinder HPV vaccine series initiation. Intervention messages are tailored to address these beliefs and concerns. (01/01/2010 - 12/31/2010)
