Common Sense Model Guided Narrative Video Group
Standard of Care Group
Time & Attention Group
The narrative videos is guided by the CSM and designed to provide a comprehensive resource for college students. The narrative video addresses illness risk representations and information on HPV, the HPV vaccine, and HPV-related cancers. The format of the narrative video includes (1) a direct testimonial of a college woman (in her dorm room) telling a story to her roommates about what motivated her to get vaccinated, and (2) a conversation among the roommates where information about the HPV vaccine is discussed.
Participants in the standard of care group will receive the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Vaccine Information Statement (VIS; https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/vis/vis-statements/hpv.pdf). The VIS contains information about HPV, the HPV vaccine, and the benefits and risks of the vaccine. The VIS will be utilized because healthcare providers are required to distribute the VIS to patients before receiving each dose of the HPV vaccine, it is easy to understand, and it is publicly available information.
Participants in the time and attention video group will receive a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention video on binge drinking (https://youtu.be/I9hdkDTaQWU; 4:22 minutes). The video contains information on the health risks of binge drinking including unintended pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, injury, car accidents, violence, and HIV/AIDS
