Summary:
It is possible that achieving adequate HPV vaccination coverage will allow cervical
cancer to be virtually eliminated. This is a priority for Georgia, where the burden of
mortality and morbidity from cervical cancer is high and the yearly prevalence of
cervical cancer is 14.5 per 100,000 population.
The objective of the intervention evaluated is to increase the uptake of the 1st dose of
the HPV vaccination in Georgia. The intervention aims to achieve this by providing a SMS
reminder informed by behavioural insights (BI) to remind caregivers of girls between
10-12 years that their daughter is due the first dose of her HPV vaccination, share
information about the vaccine, and encourage them to book an appointment to receive the
vaccination. Four different SMS messages will be compared to no SMS message.
The evaluation will be a 5-arm randomised controlled trial (RCT) which aims to answer the
research question: Does each of the designed BI-informed SMS reminders increase the
uptake of the first dose of the HPV vaccination among eligible girls in Georgia, compared
to no reminder? Our hypothesis is that SMS reminders will increase the uptake of HPV
vaccination.
