Making Effective HPV Vaccine Recommendations
Coverage of HPV vaccination among US teens is low, far below Healthy People 2020 goals. A
central reason for low coverage is infrequent and inadequate healthcare provider
recommendation of HPV vaccine. The proposed intervention aims to train clinicians to provide
effective recommendations for the vaccine using participatory or efficient communication
strategies.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of two communication trainings to increase HPV
vaccination coverage among adolescent patients. We will compare HPV vaccination for
pediatric and family medicine clinics receiving a participatory communication training,
efficient communication training, or no training. Ten clinics will be randomly assigned to
each study arm for a total of 30 clinics. The primary outcome of this study is to compare
the change in clinics' levels of HPV vaccination initiation coverage among 11-12 year old
adolescent patients from baseline to 6 month follow-up. Secondarily, we will compare the
change in HPV vaccination initiation coverage in 13-17 year old adolescents.
