Increasing Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Uptake in Low-Income, Ethnic Minority Adolescents in Los Angeles County
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Human Papilloma Virus Infection
In brief
The primary aim of the project is to increase human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine receipt rates among low-income, ethnic minority adolescents (girls and boys 11-17 years of age) in Los Angeles County. We will accomplish this goal by implementing and rigorously evaluating interventions in multiple venues that serve our target population, including the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LACDPH) and two large Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). Our hypotheses are: Primary hypothesis: 1. The intervention group will have a higher rate of HPV vaccine initiation at follow-up compared to the control group. Secondary hypothesis: 2. The intervention group will have higher vaccine completion rates (3 doses) at follow-up compared to the control group.
