We developed an interactive HPV vaccination education program (IHVEP) to equip patients with HPV-associated cancers to serve as health educators. Objective: To pilot test the adapted IHVEP, evaluate its content using the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model and the Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM) instrument, and identify factors relevant to optimizing digital health interventions. Methods: A previously developed cervical cancer\u2013focused IHVEP was adapted for patients with oropharyngeal cancer. Participants completed the program and participated in semi-structured interviews. Feedback was analyzed and organized into themes aligned with the IMB and SAM frameworks. Results: Participants generally perceived the adapted IHVEP as informative, motivating, and empowering. Key motivators included physician recommendation and a desire to protect others. The program appeared to enhance participants\u2019 perceived ability and self-efficacy to promote HPV vaccination. Modules were described as clear, well-organized, linguistically accessible, and culturally appropriate. Feedback identified areas for improvement related to technology, content, and functionality. Conclusions: Findings suggest that effective digital health interventions may benefit from incorporating training in evaluating health information, ensuring intuitive design and navigation, and including content featuring real individuals. These results will inform further refinement of IHVEP and the development of future digital health interventions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/vaccines14080689","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,11]],"date-time":"2026-08-11T10:32:16Z","timestamp":1786444336000},"page":"689","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Developing an Interactive Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Education Program for Oropharyngeal Cancer Patients and Healthcare Providers: Lessons Learned from the Target Users\u2019 Feedback"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Cameron Andrew","family":"Jernigan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"TSET Health Promotion Research Center, Stephenson Cancer Center, University of Oklahoma Health Campus, Oklahoma City, OK 73104, USA"},{"name":"Department of Family and Preventive Medicine, College of Medicine, University of Oklahoma Health Campus, Oklahoma City, OK 73104, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-6736-7471","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hope","family":"Reeves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TSET Health Promotion Research Center, Stephenson Cancer Center, University of Oklahoma Health Campus, Oklahoma City, OK 73104, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bradley","family":"McNeese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TSET Health Promotion Research Center, Stephenson Cancer Center, University of Oklahoma Health Campus, Oklahoma City, OK 73104, USA"},{"name":"Department of Family and Preventive Medicine, College of Medicine, University of Oklahoma Health Campus, Oklahoma City, OK 73104, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-4209-4290","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cate","family":"Moriasi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TSET Health Promotion Research Center, Stephenson Cancer Center, University of Oklahoma Health Campus, Oklahoma City, OK 73104, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Greg","family":"Krempl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, College of Medicine, University of Oklahoma Health Campus, Oklahoma City, OK 73104, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joan","family":"Walker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecologic Oncology, College of Medicine, University of Oklahoma Health Campus, Oklahoma City, OK 73104, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashlea","family":"Braun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TSET Health Promotion Research Center, Stephenson Cancer Center, University of Oklahoma Health Campus, Oklahoma City, OK 73104, USA"},{"name":"Department of Family and Preventive Medicine, College of Medicine, University of Oklahoma Health Campus, Oklahoma City, OK 73104, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Radhika","family":"Gogoi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Karmanos Cancer Institute Division of Oncology, Wayne State University, Detroit, MI 48201, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thanh C.","family":"Bui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TSET Health Promotion Research Center, Stephenson Cancer Center, University of Oklahoma Health Campus, Oklahoma City, OK 73104, USA"},{"name":"Department of Family and Preventive Medicine, College of Medicine, University of Oklahoma Health Campus, Oklahoma City, OK 73104, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"660","DOI":"10.1097\/OLQ.0000000000000193","article-title":"The estimated lifetime probability of acquiring human papillomavirus in the United States","volume":"41","author":"Chesson","year":"2014","journal-title":"Sex.
