Evaluating the effectiveness of the human papillomavirus vaccination programme in England, using a regression discontinuity design
These estimates, obtained by using a quasi-experimental approach, are similar to vaccine effectiveness estimates based on more traditional approaches. This approach provides further evidence of the HPV vaccination programme reducing adverse cervical outcomes in young women and could be used for future studies to evaluate major changes in HPV vaccination policy and for studies of longer-term outcomes including other cancers and deaths.
