Research summary
This project is exploring HPV education in secondary schools in Northern Ireland for adolescents aged between 15-17 years old. Currently, HPV education is only provided to adolescents at the time of vaccination (age 11-13 years). Through this project we aim to gather opinions from students, teachers and nurses, regarding the design and implementation of an appropriate intervention for this age range.
This will involve conducting focus groups with students and teachers in secondary schools in Northern Ireland and nurses involved in the HPV vaccination programme.REC name
