Now or future? Analyzing the effects of message frame and format in motivating Chinese females to get HPV vaccines for their children

Cancer has been identified as the second leading cause of death globally [1]. Among different types of cancers, cervical cancer is the second most common cancer for females, accounting for 11% of deaths and approximately 9% of new cancer incidences among women worldwide [1]. In response, vaccines have been developed to prevent the infection of Human Papillomavirus (HPV), a known cause of cervical cancer [2]. A substantial proportion of cervical cancer incidence is preventable through HPV vaccination, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends routine HPV vaccination for children aged 11 to 12 years and catch-up vaccines for adolescents and young adults (aged 13 through 26 years).
