Popis: HPV vaccination is recommended for U.S. adolescents at ages 11–12 and requires two versus three doses if the series is started before age 15. We evaluated how talking about recommended age or fewer doses motivates on-time HPV vaccination. Our national, online experiment randomized 1,263 parents of adolescents to view one of three messages about HPV vaccination recommendations or no message. Messages framed guidelines as recommending: vaccination at age 11–12; fewer doses for those who start vaccination at age 11–12; or, fewer doses for those who start vaccination before age 15.

Parents who viewed “at age 11–12” versus no message more often preferred on-time HPV vaccination (63% vs. 43%, p .05). Parents who viewed “fewer doses before age 15” less often preferred on-time HPV vaccination (39%, p
