- Brief Summary
This study is a two-arm randomized controlled trial, implemented to assess the effectiveness of a community-based educational program with and without a text messaging reminder system, in increasing the rate of HPV vaccination completion among children of Mexican Americans.
The investigator's have extended the duration that participants are followed in assessing their child's uptake of the HPV vaccine to coincide with the COVID-19 related clinic closures and/or allow flexibility for participants who decide to delay their child's vaccination for fear of exposure to the COVID-19 infection.
A survey will also assess the participants concerns regarding the impact COVID-19 has had in their daily life, such as financial insecurity, food access, housing insecurity and among other most common concerns during this unprecedented time. Additional navigation, referrals and interviewer notes will also be captured. Participants may be called by site or MSK staff to complete study surveys and will be informed verbally or by a mailed letter.
