Inclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria
Participants in the IMB group received information specific to HPV, cervical cancer, and the HPV vaccine. This information was delivered in a group setting, and it was delivered via a PowerPoint presentation that included short video clips.
Other names: IMB Based Educational Program
Participants in the attention control arm watched a PowerPoint that contained a series of short video clips encompassing aspects of women's general and sexual health. This was also conducted in a group setting.
Time frame: One month
Consistent with studies based on the IMB model,, participants were assessed on their level of knowledge regarding information about HPV, the HPV vaccine, and cervical cancer.
Time frame: One month
Consistent with studies based on the IMB model, motivation to get vaccinated was assessed through five questionnaires to measure different aspects of motivation: perceived motivation, attitudes related to getting vaccinated, perceived social norms to getting vaccinated, behavioral intentions, and perceived risk for HPV/cervical cancer.
Time frame: One Month
Consistent with studies based on the IMB model, participants' belief and confidence in their ability to get vaccinated were assessed with questions adapted from these studies.
