Be Confident! HPV Education Campaign  

The AWHONN Be Confident! HPV education campaign delivers tools - in English and Spanish - to spark conversations with young women and their parents about HPV and
cervical cancer prevention.

The innovative, appealing comic book style brochure presents realistic dialogue about the value of HPV vaccination. The accompanying poster conveys the importance of teens and parents being confident they know the facts
about HPV.
