Brief description Adolescents have little understanding and high levels of fear about HPV vaccination in the Australian school program. We plan to evaluate a multi-strategy intervention (incorporating an adolescent education intervention, a parental decision aid, and procedural facilitators) to promote uptake and informed participation in the school-based HPV vaccination program. The intervention will promote understanding, reduce fear, and have minimum impact on school and teacher resources.
