Informational Animation Video
BehavioralThe informational animation video will also take several minutes and will cover HPV disease, address specific concerns when identified, and the importance and safety of HPV vaccines.
Personal Narrative Video
BehavioralPersonal narrative videos will consist of someone describing the person's own personal experience with HPV.
