Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Poor quality of primary care providers' vaccine recommendations lead to low adolescent human papillomavirus vaccination rates and hundreds of thousands of adolescents unnecessarily at risk for HPV-associated cancers and diseases. Though a previous provider communication intervention, called PCOM, was found to be effective for increasing adolescent HPV vaccination in primary care, its dissemination is limited by the need for significant research team involvement to teach providers how to use the intervention's components. To address this, investigators propose to develop and test a virtual version of PCOM, use mixed methods to assess contextual factors affecting its use compared to the original PCOM intervention, and develop an optimized version of PCOM for broad dissemination to increase adolescent HPV vaccination nationally.

- PCOM Standard Arm
- description
- Providers in participating in the PCOM-standard intervention will be trained on optimizing an in-person provider communication technique about HPV vaccination by training primary care providers in a 2-step verbal communication process: 1) to start the HPV vaccine discussion using a "presumptive" format, and 2) to use motivational interviewing (MI) techniques to address parental vaccine hesitancy.

- Behavioral: Physician Communication Standard (PCOM-standard)
- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- PCOM2 Virtual Arm
- description
- Providers participating in the PCOM2-virtual arm will receive training on this communication method through an adapted virtual model of PCOM-standard. PCOM2-Virtual intervention will result in a "shelf ready" intervention and associated "User Manual" that can be easily incorporated into practices broadly to improve the practice's adolescent HPV vaccination rates. PCOM-Virtual arm will then be compared to that of the original PCOM-standard intervention in its efficacy for increasing HPV vaccination among adolescents.
