    We assessed differences in response to a tailored recommendation intervention for HPV vaccine by participants’ sociodemographic characteristics in this exploratory sub-analysis of a larger web-based, randomized-controlled trial on tailored messaging among mothers with low intent to vaccinate their 11–14-year-old child against HPV. The intervention consisted of pre-recorded video messages tailored to 1–5 common concerns about HPV vaccine. In these exploratory analyses, we used generalized linear models to assess differences in post-intervention intent across intervention arms, stratified by sociodemographic characteristics among 496 trial participants. We found significantly higher post-intervention intent in the intervention participants versus the control group among mothers: 1) with younger children; 2) with white vs. black children; 3) with Non-Hispanic children; 4) who were younger; 5) with some college or vocational training; with household incomes of ≥$100,000; and 7) with 1–2 children. Our findings of effect modification by certain sociodemographic factors such as age, race/ethnicity, and household income should be considered when designing similar tailored messaging interventions.
