Intervention for Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Acceptance in Mexican Mothers

The educational intervention was implemented through a private Facebook group, facilitating access to HPV vaccine information. A user guide was provided and profiles were verified for authenticity using a non-duplicity algorithm. Prior to access, mothers completed questionnaires to assess their knowledge, beliefs and acceptance. The intervention lasted four weeks and included four modules with videos, handouts and infographics. The first session provided information on HPV, its transmission and prevention. The second highlighted the benefits of the vaccine and debunked myths. The third showed testimonials from mothers who had their daughters vaccinated. The last session was a videoconference with group dynamics to resolve doubts. The sessions were held weekly and access and duration were monitored within the group. After finishing, the group was temporarily closed to avoid biases in the second measurement, allowing free access to the contents.
