dc.description.abstractA large-scale SMS-based campaign in Cali, Colombia, featuring tailored messages addressing key behavioral barriers, increased HPV vaccine uptake by 34% to 55%. Increasing confidence in the vaccine and providing reliable information are the most effective strategies to enhance HPV vaccination uptake. The intervention achieved high cost-effectiveness, generating USD 3.6 to USD 5.75 per dollar spent.
