Summary
An eHealth intervention using a KakaoTalk chatbot improved HPV vaccination awareness and self-efficacy in middle-school girls. This chatbot approach is a feasible and usable method for promoting adolescent HPV vaccination.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Health Communication
- Adolescent Health
Background:
- Decreasing age of sexual initiation necessitates earlier human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination for adolescents.
- eHealth communication via social networking services offers a flexible approach to health promotion.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the feasibility and usability of an eHealth communication intervention for HPV vaccination.
- Targeting middle-school girls and their mothers for HPV vaccination promotion.
Main Methods:
- A 6-step intervention mapping process was used to develop the eHealth intervention.
- Focus groups identified barriers to HPV vaccination, informing intervention design.
- A KakaoTalk chatbot was developed and tested for usability.
Main Results:
- Effective communication strategies for adolescent HPV vaccination were identified from 10 studies.
- Barriers like low knowledge and inconvenience were noted; youth-friendly mobile delivery is needed.
- The chatbot intervention improved awareness and self-efficacy, with high usability scores from experts (80.13) and girls (84.06).
Conclusions:
- Chatbot-delivered health communication is a promising strategy for promoting HPV vaccination.
- Further research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of this eHealth intervention in increasing vaccination rates.

Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...
