What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This clinical trial studies an educational intervention for parents and providers in increasing human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates in younger girls in Ohio Appalachia. Educational interventions may be effective in increasing the number of participants whose daughters receive HPV vaccination.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial does not specify whether participants need to stop taking their current medications.

Is the Educational Intervention for HPV Vaccination safe for humans?

The Educational Intervention, which uses patient navigators to help increase HPV vaccination rates, has been implemented in pediatric clinics without any reported safety concerns related to the intervention itself.12345

How does the educational intervention for HPV vaccination differ from other treatments?

This educational intervention is unique because it uses patient navigators to educate families about HPV vaccination and provide personalized reminders, which significantly increases vaccine completion rates compared to standard practices.13678

What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Educational Intervention, PRE-ACT Model, Patient Navigator Model for HPV vaccination?

Research shows that using patient navigators (people who guide patients through the healthcare system) significantly increased HPV vaccine completion rates in pediatric clinics. In one study, 93% of adolescents who started the vaccine series completed it after receiving guidance from patient navigators, demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach in improving vaccination rates.136910

Published Research Related to This Trial

An educational program focused on quality improvement (QI) significantly increased HPV vaccine completion rates from 45% to 65% in a pilot initiative involving five pediatric practices over six months.
In a second phase with eight additional practices, the program led to an increase in HPV vaccine initiation from 46% to 61% and completion from 62% to 94%, demonstrating the effectiveness of combining QI education with workflow strategies to enhance vaccination rates.

A stepwise evidence-based practice model significantly increased HPV vaccination rates among youth and adolescents, with all 24 eligible participants receiving the vaccine in 2019 compared to only 4 in the same period in 2018.
The model included strong provider recommendations and targeted education to address parental hesitancy, highlighting the importance of proactive communication in improving vaccination uptake.

There are three licensed HPV vaccines: bivalent, quadrivalent, and nonavalent, with the nonavalent vaccine introduced in 2014, yet vaccination coverage remains low in many developed countries due to safety concerns.
This review aims to clarify the safety profiles of all three HPV vaccines by summarizing data from both pre- and post-licensure studies, particularly focusing on the newer nonavalent vaccine.
