Provider Training + Interactive Texting for HPV Vaccination
(Text&Talk Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests two methods to increase HPV vaccination rates among 11- to 12-year-olds in Florida. It examines the effectiveness of text messages for parents and training sessions for healthcare providers in promoting vaccinations. The trial includes different groups: some receive training, some receive text messages, and some receive both or neither. It suits parents with children aged 10 to 12 who have not yet received adolescent vaccines and visit participating clinics. As an unphased trial, it provides a unique opportunity to contribute to research that could enhance public health strategies.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for this trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It seems focused on increasing HPV vaccination rates, so it's unlikely to require changes to your medication.
What prior data suggests that these interventions are safe for increasing HPV vaccination rates?
Research has shown that these methods have been well-tolerated in past studies. Studies indicate that training healthcare providers in better communication skills can increase HPV vaccination rates without known side effects. Specifically, one study found that this training boosted vaccination rates by about 5.2%.
Research also suggests that text message reminders sent to parents are safe. Studies have found these reminders effective in improving timely HPV vaccination rates, with no reports of negative reactions.
Overall, both provider training and text message reminders have successfully supported HPV vaccination efforts in the past and are generally considered safe for participants.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about this trial because it explores innovative ways to boost HPV vaccination rates through provider training and interactive texting with parents. Unlike traditional methods that rely solely on in-person education, this approach uses brief training sessions for clinicians, focusing on either the benefits of the vaccine or a bundled message approach. Additionally, it engages parents with interactive text messages, which could make information more accessible and timely. This trial aims to find out if these strategies can effectively increase vaccination rates, which is crucial for preventing HPV-related diseases. By combining digital communication with targeted clinician training, the trial could pave the way for more effective vaccination campaigns in the future.
What evidence suggests that this trial's interventions could be effective for increasing HPV vaccination rates among 11- to 12-year-olds?
Research shows that training doctors and sending text messages to parents can increase HPV vaccination rates. In this trial, some participants will experience a combination of these methods. Studies have found that when doctors improve their communication skills, vaccination rates rise by about 5.2%. Automated text reminders have also successfully encouraged timely HPV vaccinations. Messages with clear facts make parents more willing to vaccinate their children. Combining these methods has improved vaccination rates and boosted doctors' confidence. Overall, these strategies effectively increase the number of children vaccinated against HPV.35678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for parents of 10- to 12-year-olds who haven't had the HPV vaccine and visit participating Florida clinics. It's also for providers giving primary care to this age group at these clinics. Adolescents outside this age range, those opted-out of texts, or without a cell number on file can't join.Inclusion Criteria

Trial Overview
The study tests two methods to increase HPV vaccination rates: one sends educational text messages to parents, and the other provides brief training to clinicians. The goal is to see if these approaches encourage vaccinations in 11-12 year olds.
