Summary

This trial looks at whether an educational program about HPV can increase the rates of HPV vaccination among low income uninsured adults, which may prevent HPV-related cancers.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who have never had an HPV vaccine, no allergies to its contents, and women without a history of positive HPV tests or abnormal Pap smears. Participants must understand English, be patients at the VIM clinic, and willing to join the study. Those who've already received the HPV vaccine cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing whether an educational program can increase acceptance and completion of free HPV vaccinations among underserved adults. It aims to boost vaccination rates in this group which may help prevent HPV-related cancers.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves an educational intervention rather than a medical treatment, there are no direct side effects from medications or vaccines as part of the study itself.
