Health Beliefs, Behaviors, and Healthcare Experiences Among United States Young and Mid-Age Adults

Completed

• Conditions: HPV Vaccine Knowledge
• Interventions: Behavioral: Survey

• Registration Number: NCT04766164
• Lead Sponsor: H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute

Brief Summary

The study will provide important insight into current HPV vaccine knowledge/awareness, health beliefs, affect, vaccine discussions, decision preparedness, and vaccine intentions and behaviors among those ages 18-45, while examining potential differences in responses between those ages 18-26 and those ages 27-45 and vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.

Detailed Description

The study will provide important insight into current HPV vaccine knowledge/awareness, health beliefs, affect, vaccine discussions, decision preparedness, and vaccine intentions and behaviors among those ages 18-45, while examining potential differences in responses between those ages 18-26 and those ages 27-45 and vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. In addition, the study will illuminate gaps in knowledge and awareness as well as the education intervention preferences (e.g., intervention platform, source of information, timing of intervention) of individuals ages 18-45. Among those ages 27-45, shared clinical decision-making is recommended. Compared to individuals ages 18-26, individuals ages 27-45 may need to be supported uniquely so that they are prepared to engage in shared clinical decision-making about HPV vaccination with their healthcare provider. Thus, among unvaccinated individuals ages 27-45, for whom shared clinical decision-making is recommended, preparedness for engagement in shared clinical decision-making will be assessed and explored. The study also will allow investigators to identify how best to target information to young adults and mid-adults both for themselves, and among those with children, for their children.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Males and Females ages 18-26	Survey	Participants between the ages of 18-26 will complete a survey
Males and Females ages 27-45	Survey	Participants between the ages of 27-45 will complete a survey

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
HPV-Related Educational Intervention Preferences	Day 1	Data from survey will describe intervention preferences and associations between intervention preferences and sociodemographic variables (e.g., age, gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, employment status, parental status, and insurance status).
HPV Vaccine Knowledge	Day 1	Data from survey will describe HPV and HPV vaccine knowledge, health beliefs, attitudes, affect, health literacy, health care experiences, vaccine discussions and information sources, preparedness for shared decision-making and HPV vaccine uptake and intentions and examine relationships between these variables among a national sample of U.S. adults (N=4,000) ages 18-45 years.
