A randomized, controlled, pragmatic trial of an iPad-based, tailored messaging intervention to increase human papillomavirus vaccination among Latinos.

ABSTRACT: Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes a number of cancers that disproportionally affect Latinos yet there is a paucity of research on interventions to increase HPV vaccination among this population. We sought to evaluate the efficacy of a web-based, individually customizable intervention, called CHICOs (Combatting HPV Infection and Cancers, tailored intervention) for its impact on HPV vaccine utilization. We conducted a three-armed, randomized, controlled trial in the waiting rooms of five family medicine practices from June 2014-February 2016 where CHICOS was compared to an iPad-based version of the Vaccine Information Sheet from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (untailored intervention), and usual care.
