Overview
The purpose of this study is to determine the provider- and practice-level characteristics that influence the impact of implementation strategies guided by practice facilitation in each clinical practice, to test whether the facilitator-driven provider- and practice-level implementation strategies increase provider recommendations and Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccination rates and to evaluate implementation and future sustainability of the facilitator-driven implementation strategies across nine clinical practice sites
Interventions
- Other Facilitator-driven provider- and practice-level implementation strategies for influencing provider recommendations and practice-level HPV vaccination rates
The practice facilitator (UTHealth research staff) will implement the following 4 strategies with providers and immunization navigators at each practice: * Facilitator-driven provider education: The practice facilitator will conduct one provider education module (5 total modules) over three months with health care providers using a booklet and resource binder. * Facilitator-driven clinical practice plan: The practice facilitator will assist the implementation team in creating their clinical pra
Primary outcome measures
- Percentage of vaccine-eligible males and females at each clinic who received the first valid dose of the HPV vaccine series before their 13th birthday. [Time frame: From baseline to end of study ( about 60 months from baseline)]
- Percentage of vaccine-eligible males and females at each clinic who received the second valid dose of the HPV vaccine series 6-12 months after their first dose and before their 13th birthday. [Time frame: From baseline to end of study ( about 60 months from baseline)]
Secondary outcome measures (6)
- Percentage of vaccine-eligible males and females at each clinic who received the first valid dose of the HPV vaccine series before their 18th birthday. [Time frame: From baseline to end of study ( about 60 months from baseline)]
- Percentage of vaccine-eligible 13-14 y/o males and females at each clinic who received the second valid dose of the HPV vaccine series 6-12 months after first dose and before their 15th birthday [Time frame: From baseline to end of study ( about 60 months from baseline)]
- Percentage of vaccine-eligible 15-17 y/o males and females at each clinic who received the second valid dose of the HPV vaccine series 2 months after first dose and before their 18th birthday [Time frame: From baseline to end of study ( about 60 months from baseline)]
- Percentage of vaccine-eligible 15-17 y/o males and females at each clinic who received the third valid dose of the HPV vaccine series 4 months after second dose and before their 18th birthday. [Time frame: From baseline to end of study ( about 60 months from baseline)]
- Percentage of non-well visits in which HPV vaccine was not administered, among all visits for active vaccine-eligible patients ages 11-17 by clinic [Time frame: From baseline to end of study ( about 60 months from baseline)]
- Percentage of males and females at each clinic who received Tdap and MenACWY at age 11 as a requirement to attend 7th grade in Texas. [Time frame: From baseline to end of study ( about 60 months from baseline)]
