Short-term outcomes of health belief model-based brief virtual education on HPV infection and vaccination among pharmacy students: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC medical education, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05175482 (The Impact of Health Belief Model Based Education on Human Papilloma Virus Infection and Vaccination Among University Students), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract
backgroundGenital Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection was a global public health concern, with low vaccination rates in Türkiye highlighting a critical need for effective interventions. Pharmacists, as future health advocates, were a crucial target population. This study evaluated the short-term outcomes of brief virtual education program based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) on pharmacy students’ knowledge and health beliefs on HPV infection and vaccination.
methodsA randomized controlled trial with a pre-test/post-test design was conducted with pharmacy students in Istanbul, Türkiye. Participants were randomized to an intervention group that viewed an educational video based on HBM which took almost five minutes or a control group. The primary outcomes were HPV knowledge and health beliefs, measured using validated scales at baseline and one day post-intervention, while the secondary outcome was vaccination intention. Statistical analyses, including the Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Chi-square test, and McNemar test were performed to compare between and within groups, with a significance level of p < 0.05.
resultsThe intervention group (n = 59) showed significant increases in HPV knowledge and positive changes in all HBM constructs (p < 0.05). No significant changes were observed in the control group (n = 68). While both groups increased their intention to get vaccinated after the assessments, there was no significant difference in the final intention rate between them (p > 0.05).
conclusionThe HBM-based brief virtual education program slightly improved HPV knowledge and health beliefs among pharmacy students in Türkiye, a population with critically low vaccination rates.
