Study Title: Examining the factors influencing human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine intentions in parents of boys aged 9–12 in England

Dear Parent/Guardian,

We are researchers from the University of Derby conducting a study focusing on parental attitudes towards the HPV vaccine for boys aged 9–12. Your participation is crucial in helping us understand the factors that influence HPV vaccine intentions among parents in England.

As part of the study, we are reaching out to parents of boys aged 9–12. Your involvement would greatly contribute to our research efforts.

Participation in the study will involve completing a series of online questionnaires designed to assess your beliefs, attitudes and intentions regarding the HPV vaccine. Your responses will remain confidential and will be used solely for research purposes. The study is anticipated to take approximately 30 minutes of your time. Your participation is entirely voluntary, and you have the right to withdraw at any stage without any obligation.

Thank you for considering taking part in this important research endeavour.

PS: Users of the research platform SurveyCircle.com will receive SurveyCircle points for their participation.

Sincerely,

Dr Daniel Gaffiero – d.gaffiero@derby.ac.uk
