Abstract
ABSTRACT The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States (CDC, 2023). Although a vaccine for HPV exists, the vaccination rate in young adults is still staggeringly low. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to use Narrative Engagement Theory (NET; Miller- Day & Hecht, 2013) to examine what HPV videos young adults find most engaging and persuasive. Participants were 992 college students from a large Southwestern University who watched ten HPV videos designed to inform young adults about HPV. After each video, participants responded to questions that assessed engagement and persuasiveness and were provided space to write as much as they liked to elaborate on their answers. The results suggest that certain videos may be more effective in persuading young adults to receive the HPV vaccination.
