The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $191,700 Project Grant under the Cancer Research Manpower (CFDA 93.398) program to Northwestern University. The 5-year grant, effective January 15, 2025, will support a pilot trial to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and effects of four digital intervention components targeting HPV vaccination among the U.S. Vietnamese population. The project, titled "HPV Education & Resources for the U.S. Vietnamese Population (HERO)," aims to develop an optimal digital health intervention to address low HPV vaccine uptake in this community. Key components to be tested include expert videos, self-persuasion strategies, narrative storytelling, and motivational interviewing. The study will also explore implementation factors to support future scale-up of the intervention. This research aligns with NCI's priorities around health equity, digital health, and reducing cancer disparities affecting Asian American populations.
