A Pilot Study Comparing the Effectiveness of Campus Intervention to Increase HPV Vaccine Rate Among College Aged Men

This is a study testing what type of message and access influences a young male to get the HPV vaccine. The investigators are conducting a 2 X 2 design These conditions are: - Condition 1: Altruistic personal with direct recommendation inside-dorm - Condition 2: Generic message with inside-dorm - Condition 3: Generic message with outside-dorm HPV vaccine - Condition 4: Altruistic personal with outside-dorm HPV vaccine The objectives of this study are: A. To examine the efficacy in encouraging young men to receive HPV shots at Time 1 within each of the four intervention conditions (altruistic/personal with direct recommendation vs. generic message) X (in-dorm vs. outside-dorm HPV vaccine). B. To examine the efficacy in encouraging young men to receive HPV shots at Times 2 & 3 within each of the four intervention conditions (altruistic/personal with direct recommendation vs. generic message) X (in-dorm vs. outside-dorm HPV vaccine). 2.1.1 List the clinical hypotheses. Objective A H A.1: At Time 1, college men who have immediate access to the HPV vaccination will take the vaccination at a higher rate than those who do not have immediate access to the vaccine. H A.2: At Time 1, college men who receive an altruistic/personal health message along with immediate access to the HPV vaccine will take the HPV vaccination at a higher rate than the men in the other three arms of the study. Objective B H B.1: At Times 2 & 3, college men who have immediate access to the HPV vaccination will take the vaccination at a higher rate than those who do not have immediate access to the vaccine. H B.2: At Times 2 & 3, college men who receive an altruistic/personal health message along with immediate access to the HPV vaccine will take the HPV vaccination at a higher rate than the men in the other three arms of the study.
