Note. HPV=human papillomavirus; interactive group=Outsmart HPV content with monthly interactive vaccination reminders; unidirectional group=Outsmart HPV content with monthly unidirectional vaccination reminders; SD=standard deviation. All items were from the T4 survey and were Likert-type items with a possible range of 1–5. Items were coded so that higher values indicate greater levels of agreement with a statement. p-values represent results from independent samples t-tests. Statistical tests were two-tailed with a critical alpha of 0.05.
