Brief Summary:
Most adolescents who receive human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine are vaccinated in pediatric practices, yet missed opportunities (MOs) for HPV vaccination occur often and lead to low HPV vaccination rates. This cluster randomized clinical trial (RCT) will test the effectiveness (and cost-effectiveness) of training providers on HPV vaccine communication to reduce MOs and increase HPV vaccination rates.
Detailed Description:
As highlighted by NCI, low HPV vaccination rates represent a major lost opportunity for population-wide cancer prevention. Pediatric primary care office visits are the main site for HPV vaccination, yet many missed opportunities (MOs) for vaccination occur in primary care and contribute to low vaccination rates. MOs are office visits during which a patient is eligible for a vaccine, but does not receive it. Many factors cause MOs - provider factors (e.g., time-constrained visits, lack of communication skills, and giving vaccinations only at preventive visits) and parent factors (e.g., vaccine hesitancy). This cluster randomized clinical trial will test the effectiveness (and cost-effectiveness) of training providers in HPV vaccine communication to reduce MOs and increase HPV vaccination rates. This training will be done through online educational modules (sent via text or email), weekly mini lessons and live office practice sessions.
