Text and Email Messaging for Increasing Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Completion among Uninsured or Medicaid-insured Adolescents in Rural Eastern North Carolina.

We sought to assess if electronic messaging/reminders could increase human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine completion among adolescents and HPV knowledge among their parents. The study was conducted in two clinics in eastern North Carolina from March 2014-March 2016. Participants included English-speaking and/or Spanish-speaking, uninsured or Medicaid-insured parents and their children (ages 9-17).
