Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Each year the human papillomavirus (HPV) causes 30,000 cancers in the United States despite the availability of very effective and safe vaccines. Uptake of the HPV vaccine has been disappointingly low and lags behind other adolescent vaccines. This study seeks to test interventions targeting health care system, provider, and patient factors to improve the population uptake of the HPV vaccine.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The broad, long-term objective is to substantially increase human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates by deploying effective population-health interventions in clinical practices across the United States. As part of this effort, the investigators intend to evaluate two evidence-based interventions with innovative enhancements at six Mayo Clinic primary care practices (PCP) to evaluate their individual and combined impact on rates of HPV vaccination among female and male patients. Aim 1, "Less Pain, Less Fuss, Right Now!", will test the hypothesis that, as compared to no intervention (current practice), a practice-level intervention utilizing reminder-recalls featuring the availability of non-medication and medication anesthetics, the convenience of nurse-only visits, and the use of persuasive language for early, on-time vaccinations will improve HPV vaccine delivery rates. Aim 2, "Make It Count!", will test the hypothesis that, as compared to no intervention, a provider level intervention utilizing a missed-opportunities assessment and feedback intervention applying social pressure (specific peer-performance comparisons) and equipping providers with a strong-recommendation toolkit will improve HPV vaccine delivery rates. Aim 3 will test the hypothesis that simultaneous implementation of interventions targeting individual, interpersonal, and organizational factors will have a synergistic effect on HPV vaccine delivery rates. To accomplish Aims 1-3, the investigators will use a stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial with an integrated process evaluation. The cluster approach prevents cross-contamination between patients or providers as we allocate two separate interventions (Aims 1 and 2) in the six PCPs. The stepped-wedge design, which ensures all practices eventually receive the same set of interventions, permits the single institutional review board overseeing all six PCPs to approve the study without requiring recruitment and consent of individual patients or providers. The stepped-wedge approach also permits the investigators to test the presence of each of the interventions in each PCP, making trial participation more attractive, while also allowing each practice to serve as its own control, reducing the bias due to imbalanced risk factors across practices. The factorial design allows the investigators to use a single trial to test two interventions and assess each individually and in combination. The design also conserves sample size while maintaining power. The investigators will measure the impact separately in females and males, 11-12 years of age for the rates of receipt of HPV vaccine doses due. Rigorously tested, highly effective, population-level interventions are essential if the US is to reach the Healthy People 2020 goal for HPV vaccination. The rigor, design, and high likelihood of success of this study will provide key evidence regarding practice- and provider-level interventions to improve HPV vaccination rates. Mayo Clinic's best practices inform not only its own 70 practices across five states but its Mayo Clinic Care Network, which consists of nearly 40 health-care organizations across 26 states and Puerto Rico.

Outcome Assessors

The data analyst will conduct the measurement of the patients eligible and vaccinated and the calculations of the outcomes. The investigators will blind the data analyst to which intervention(s) each practice was assigned to receive. However that only masks the practices' interventions for Step 2 and Step 3 as all practices receive the same interventions in Step 1 (current care) and Step 4 (combined reminder-audit).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Practice A

Practice A will consist of the eligible patients empaneled to one of the six participating practices. In the first step, Practice A will be assigned to receive the current care intervention. in the second step, Practice A will be assigned to receive the current care intervention.

Group Type OTHER

Current care

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The current care arm consists of the contemporary efforts now in practice to support provider recommendation including a shared, standard immunization schedule, a shared rooming process, a shared well child visit schedule, a shared electronic prompt at point-of-care of vaccines due.
