Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This trial investigates how a communication strategy works in increasing human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines in community pharmacies among adolescents. Although pharmacies are vaccine providers, low vaccination rates are persistent as a result of low awareness of pharmacy services and poor engagement by pharmacy staff with adolescents about vaccines. The purpose of this study is to test a communication strategy that identifies vaccine-eligible children and teaches pharmacy staff how to effectively communicate with them about HPV vaccination in order to increase HPV vaccination rates.

- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Aim 2 (survey, training, communication intervention, and environmental scan)
- description
- Participants provide feedback on survey questions via cognitive testing. Pharmacy staff complete an online survey over 10-15 minutes to assess the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of providing HPV vaccination to children aged 9-17 in their pharmacies. Pharmacy staff then attend two, 60- minute vaccine communication training sessions, consisting of identifying vaccine-eligible children and recommending HPV and other vaccines. Pharmacy staff employ the new communication strategy in their pharmacy up to 6 months, and then complete an online survey over 10-15 minutes. Pharmacies of which the pharmacy staff participants work undergo an environmental scan to characterize the pharmacy's environment, vaccination workflow, and team dynamics.
