About

The researchers will be conducting a prospective randomized trial where the researchers will be introducing an educational video to see whether there is an increase in knowledge scores surrounding cervical cancer, cervical cancer screening, and prevention with HPV vaccinations.

Full description

The researchers are conducting a single-blinded randomized controlled trial. All patients who meet exclusion criteria will be recruited at the time of their visit where a Pap smear will be collected at an ob/gyn clinic. If patients agree to participate in the study, they will be randomized into one of two arms. A control arm or an interventional arm. The control arm just includes physician counseling regarding cervical cancer screening/prevention, while the interventional arm includes patient's watching a video on cervical cancer screening/prevention as well as physician counseling. Patient will be administered a survey before and after to assess knowledge and satisfaction scores.
