Conditions studied: Human Papilloma Virus

In brief

The primary research aim of this project is to test the effectiveness of a comprehensive, evidence-based vaccine promotion toolkit implemented in the pediatric healthcare setting on increasing the likelihood that adolescents in Georgia will initiate and complete the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine series. Secondary research aims include assessing the impact of the comprehensive toolkit on 1) patient and parent knowledge and attitudes regarding HPV vaccine, and 2) provider recommendation of HPV vaccine for males and females in the recommended age range (11-12 years). The intervention toolkit will include evidence-based components aimed at the practice-level, provider-level and parent-level that will be tested through a cluster-randomized trial design. The primary hypothesis is that implementation of the comprehensive vaccine promotion toolkit in the pediatric health care setting will increase the likelihood that an adolescent receives initiates HPV vaccination. At the initial visit, parents of adolescent patients at participating pediatric practices will complete a brief questionnaire assessing their knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about adolescent health, including protection against infectious diseases during adolescence. The parents will be contacted again three months later to complete a short follow-up interview on the general health of their adolescent child, immunization status, and attitudes regarding vaccination.
