Multi-component Interventions to Increase HPV Vaccination in a Network of Pediatric Clinics

The purpose of the study is to determine the comparative effectiveness of a provider-only intervention and a parent plus provider intervention to increase initiation of HPV vaccination among male and female patients ages 11-17 in a large pediatric clinic network in the greater Houston area. The hypothesis is that HPV vaccine initiation will be higher in clinics randomized to the parent plus provider intervention compared with clinics randomized to the provider-only intervention.

Treatment and study plan

Provider assessment and feedback

Behavioral

Tailored immunization reports highlighting adolescent vaccination rates at the individual, clinic and network levels are distributed by clinic champions every quarter. Reports track vaccination rates over time and allow physicians to compare their rates to the national goal.

Provider Reminders

Behavioral

An EHR-based reminder system informs providers when patients are due or overdue for HPV vaccination.

Provider Education

Behavioral

Provider education is being delivered through a comprehensive online continuing education activity that is tailored specifically to physicians, nurses, and clinical staff at TCP practices. It focuses on HPV vaccination best practices and communicating with parents about the HPV vaccine.

Patient Reminders

Behavioral

Patient reminders are delivered through MyChart, the clinics' online personal health record system, to inform patients (parents) that they are due or overdue for HPV vaccination.

Parent Education

Behavioral

The parent education intervention (currently in development) will employ innovative strategies to identify and overcome barriers to HPV vaccination.

Primary outcomes
