Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in HPV Knowledge Score

Change in participants' HPV Knowledge Scale scores measured at baseline, first follow-up, and final follow-up. The measure evaluates the effect of the online education and brochure intervention compared to the control group.

Time frame
Baseline (before intervention), 2 weeks after brochure delivery (first follow-up), and 8 weeks after the first follow-up (final follow-up)

Secondary outcomes

1

Sustained HPV Knowledge Score (Knowledge Retention)

Final follow-up (8 weeks after the first follow-up)

Time frame
Knowledge retention will be assessed by comparing HPV Knowledge Scale scores between groups at the final follow-up. Higher scores indicate better long-term retention of information provided by the intervention.
