Effects of a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of a Web-Based HPV Vaccination Intervention for Young Gay and Bisexual Men: the Outsmart HPV Project
Purpose: Effective interventions to promote human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination are needed, particularly among populations at greater risk of HPV-related disease. Gay and bisexual men have high rates of HPV infection and HPV-related disease, such as anal cancer, yet vaccination among young gay and bisexual men (YGBM) remains far below national guidelines. We developed and pilot tested a web-based intervention, Outsmart HPV, to promote HPV vaccination among YGBM.
