Official title
HPV-Kompassen: a Mixed-Methods Single-Arm Cluster Feasibility Study of a Co-Designed Web-Based Intervention To Strengthen HPV Vaccine Confidence and Uptake in Stockholm, Sweden
Overview
This study looks at a digital platform that supports HPV vaccination in schools. The goal is to see if it is useful, easy to use, and practical in real school settings, especially in areas where fewer people get vaccinated. Researchers will give Year 5 pupils (aged 11-12) and their parents or caregivers access to the platform. It provides clear, trusted information about the HPV vaccine for young people, parents, and school nurses. The aim is to make the vaccine easier to understand and to help answer any questions or concerns. After using the platform, participants will be asked to share their thoughts.
Interventions
- Behavioral HPV-Kompassen
HPV-Kompassen is a co-designed, web-based platform that provides tailored and synthesised information with the aim of strengthening confidence in and uptake of the HPV vaccine.
Primary outcome measures
- Feasibility of implementation: Acceptability, appropriateness and feasibility of implementation [Time frame: Shortly after the intervention period (i.e., 'end of treatment') at 7 months.]
- Feasibility of implementation: Acceptability, appropriateness and feasibility of implementation [Time frame: Shortly after the intervention period (i.e., 'end of treatment') at 7 months.]
- Acceptability of intervention: Intervention delivery strategy [Time frame: Throughout the intervention period (i.e., months 0-7).]
- Acceptability of intervention: Usability of intervention [Time frame: Immediately after the intervention period (i.e., 'end of treatment') at 7 months.]
- Acceptability of intervention: Perceptions of intervention [Time frame: Shortly after the intervention period (i.e., 'end of treatment') at 7 months.]
- Acceptability of intervention: Intervention engagement [Time frame: Throughout the intervention period (i.e., months 0-7).]
- Acceptability of intervention: Intervention engagement [Time frame: End of intervention period (i.e., 'end of treatment') at 7 months.]
- Feasibility of trial protocol: Feasibility of recruitment [Time frame: From start of school enrollment (i.e., pre-intervention) and throughout the intervention period (i.e., months 0-7).]
- Feasibility of trial protocol: Participant retention [Time frame: From school enrollment (i.e., 'baseline') and throughout the intervention period (i.e., months 0-7).]
- Feasibility of trial protocol: Feasibility of data collection methods [Time frame: Shortly after the intervention period (i.e., 'end of treatment') at 7 months.]
Eligibility criteria
We will aim to recruit 6-8 compulsory schools in Stockholm County to serve as clusters.

- The head principal and school nurse both consent to participate
- The school has the capacity to implement the intervention
Exclusion criteria
- Failure to meet the inclusion criteria
