TL;DR
A multi-level HPV vaccination program significantly increased vaccination rates among adolescents in a Texas clinic network.
Contribution
The study demonstrates the effectiveness of a clinic-based, multi-component intervention in improving HPV vaccination rates.
Findings
HPV vaccination initiation rates increased from 64.7% to 80.2% after the program.
Completion rates rose from 43.2% to 60.2% during the 3-year study period.
The program was effective across diverse demographic and economic subgroups.
Abstract
Despite clear evidence of the public health benefits of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in preventing HPV-related cancers and genital warts, underutilization of HPV vaccination in the United States persists. Interventions targeting multi-level determinants of vaccination behavior are crucial for improving HPV vaccination rates. The study’s purpose was to implement and evaluate the adapted Adolescent Vaccination Program (AVP), a clinic-based, multi-level, multi-component intervention aimed at increasing HPV vaccine initiation and completion rates in a five-clinic pediatric network in Bexar County, Texas. The adaptation process was guided by established frameworks and involved formative work with clinic stakeholders. The study utilized a quasi-experimental single group pre- and post- study design, with an external comparison data using the National Immunization Survey-Teen…
