Development of a multicomponent intervention to increase parental vaccine confidence and young people's access to the universal HPV vaccination programme in England: protocol for a co-design study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Persistent infection with HPV can result in cancers affecting men and, especially, women. Lower uptake exists by area and different population groups. Increasing parental confidence about, and adolescent access to, the universal HPV vaccination programme may help reduce inequalities in uptake. However, the evidence-base for interventions to address uptake for schools-based HPV vaccination programmes is currently lacking. This study protocol outlines how a multicomponent intervention to address this evidence gap will be codesigned with parents.

Methods and analysis

The proposed research will be undertaken in localities covered by two immunisation teams in London and the south-west of England. The 'person-based approach' to intervention development will be followe
