Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Decisional conflict - 16 item scaleImmediate post-test

This scale has 16 items and 5 response categories. The decisional conflict scale (DCS) measures personal perceptions of: uncertainty in choosing options; modifiable factors contributing to uncertainty such as feeling uninformed, unclear about personal values and unsupported in decision making; and effective decision making (in full version) such as feeling the choice is informed, values-based, likely to be implemented and expressing satisfaction with the choice. The scores ranged from 0 "no conflict" to 100 "extreme decisional conflict."

Decisional conflict - 4 item scaleImmediate post-test

Decision conflict scale recommended for every day clinical practice. It has 4 items and two response categories. Scores range from 0 \[extremely high decisional conflict\] to 4 \[no decisional conflict\].

16-item knowledge item related to human papillomavirus and human papillomavirus vaccination. Scale from 0 \[low knowledge\] to 16 \[high knowledge\].

Perceived expectationImmediate post-test

Perceived expectation was assessed by asking participant agreement on a 5-point Likert scale to the following statement, "The effectiveness of the HPV vaccine will vary from person to person." Higher score indicates higher perceived effectiveness.

IntentionsImmediate post-test
