ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial aims to help more young people and parents in underserved communities understand and complete the HPV vaccine series. The HPV vaccine is important because it can prevent certain cancers related to the human papillomavirus (HPV). In this study, trained Community Health Educators will use educational materials, such as presentations and videos, to share information about HPV and the vaccine with eligible participants. The focus is on individuals aged 18-26 who haven't started or finished the vaccine series, as well as parents of adolescents aged 9-17 who are also in the same situation.

To be eligible for this trial, you must be a patient at Denver Health and meet certain age requirements, speaking either English or Spanish. Participants can expect to receive valuable information about the HPV vaccine and its benefits while contributing to a study that seeks to improve vaccination rates in the community. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about HPV and help others in your community at the same time!
