Playing Games to Learn About Children's Vaccines Project
Purpose
This proposed study aims to conduct timely research that promotes vaccine confidence and vaccination of two strongly recommended vaccines with suboptimal uptake rates: Human papillomavirus (HPV) and COVID-19 in vulnerable and underserved youth aged 11-14.
Conditions
- HPV
- COVID-19
- Vaccine-Preventable Diseases
Eligibility
- Eligible Ages
- Between 11 Years and 14 Years
- Eligible Genders
- All
- Accepts Healthy Volunteers
- Yes
Inclusion Criteria
- Child sample: Individuals who (1) are aged 11-14 years, (2) have not received the 1st dose of HPV or COVID-19 vaccine, (3) can speak and read English, and (4) when approached, both parent and the child indicate that they do not plan or cannot decide whether the child will receive the HPV or COVID-19 vaccine. - Parent sample: Individuals who (1) are the parent/caregiver of the participating child, (2) agree to participate in the research activities. If more than one child in the same family is eligible for the study, the oldest one who has not received the HPV or COVID-19 vaccination will be recruited.
Exclusion Criteria
- Individuals who do not meet inclusion criteria or refuse to provide consent/assent.

Detailed Description
The study objectives are: Objective 1: Assess feasibility (participation rate, retention, involvement, satisfaction) of two game-based interventions targeting HPV and COVID-19 vaccination. Objective 2: Conduct a pilot RCT with three conditions (Arm 1: HPV game-based intervention; Arm 2: COVID-19 game-based intervention; Arm 3: usual care). The investigators will explore patterns of pre- to post-intervention change in theoretical mediators and vaccine intent, and explore levels of vaccine intent and uptake in 90 parent-child dyads of unvaccinated youth aged 11-14.
