AI Chatbot Education for Improving HPV Knowledge Among University Students

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections worldwide and is associated with several cancers. Adequate knowledge about HPV and vaccination remains limited among university students. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot-based educational program in improving HPV knowledge among undergraduate nursing students at Cyprus International University. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an AI chatbot-based personalized education group or a control group receiving standard written educational materials. HPV knowledge will be assessed before and after the intervention using the validated HPV Knowledge Questionnaire. The findings will provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of AI-supported educational strategies for improving HPV-related knowledge among university students
