Summary

Washington University will evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-component implementation strategy to increase use of HPV vaccine in primary care practices.

Detailed description

The investigators at Washington University will complete a cluster-randomized trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-component implementation strategy (the intervention) to increase use of the HPV vaccine according to CDC guidelines. The unit of randomization is a community-based, primary care pediatric practice. Twenty practices will be randomized into two groups, the intervention group (n=10) or a wait-list control group (n=10). The intervention will be implemented over 2-years and includes: 1) an educational video for providers; 2) audit and feedback of vaccine coverage; 3) a communication strategy; and 4) practice facilitation. The primary outcome of HPV vaccination by age 13 will be assessed at 24 months, and at 36 months to assess if change is sustained.
