HPV Ends Here: Increasing Uptake of the HPV Vaccine

Summary

Develop, implement, and evaluate a culturally tailored multilevel intervention to increase uptake of the HPV vaccine among eligible patients ages 10-12 of the University of California, Davis Health Community Physician (UCDH CP) primary care practices using a randomized controlled trial design.

Detailed Description

The goal of this study is to use an evidence-based approach to develop, implement and evaluate a ML intervention on increasing HPV vaccine uptake among UCDH CP patients ages 10-12. Aim 1. Refine and finalize a parent, primary care team and clinic ML intervention to increase uptake and completion of the HPV vaccine series among adolescent patients of the UCDH CP practices. In Phase 1, semi-structured qualitative interviews with key stakeholders will be conducted to refine the content and implementation approaches. Aim 2. Conduct and evaluate the effectiveness and sustainability of the ML intervention. In Phase 2, twelve UCDH CP practices will be recruited to participate in a 2-arm parallel group randomized controlled trial. The primary outcome age-appropriate completion of the HPV vaccine series will be assessed via Epic, the UCDHS electronic medical record (EMR) software. It is hypothesized that patients of clinics in the intervention condition will have significantly higher HPV completion rates compared to patients of clinics in the control condition (usual care).
