Efficacy of behaviour change interventions to influence human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine uptake: a systematic review and behaviour change techniques analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Behaviour change interventions that increase human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine uptake in school children have been identified, but not which behaviour change techniques (BCTs) make them effective, or whether interventions are best targeted towards adolescents or their parent/carer(s).

Methods

We searched Central, Embase, Medline and Eric databases from 1st September 2008 to 17th July 2023 for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) reporting on HPV vaccine uptake following behaviour change interventions. We coded B
