Brief Summary

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

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

Study Groups

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

Step 1 (3 clinics)-15 months control then 30 months intervention

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Facilitator-driven provider- and practice-level implementation strategies for influencing provider recommendations and practice-level HPV vaccination rates

Intervention Type OTHER

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 practice in two additional modules and encourage providers to identify strategies to increase HPV vaccination.
* Training and education for staff (Immunization Navigators): The facilitator will train immunization navigators to implement the plan, and practice immunization navigators will implement the plan.
* Technical assistance plus assessment and feedback: During implementation of the plan, the facilitator will provide technical assistance, ongoing assessment and feedback, and booster trainings.

Step 2 (3 clinics)-21 months control then 24 months intervention

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Facilitator-driven provider- and practice-level implementation strategies for influencing provider recommendations and practice-level HPV vaccination rates

Intervention Type OTHER

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 practice in two additional modules and encourage providers to identify strategies to increase HPV vaccination.
* Training and education for staff (Immunization Navigators): The facilitator will train immunization navigators to implement the plan, and practice immunization navigators will implement the plan.
* Technical assistance plus assessment and feedback: During implementation of the plan, the facilitator will provide technical assistance, ongoing assessment and feedback, and booster trainings.

Step 3 (3 clinics)-27 months control then 18 months intervention

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Facilitator-driven provider- and practice-level implementation strategies for influencing provider recommendations and practice-level HPV vaccination rates

Intervention Type OTHER

The practice facilitator (UTHealth research staff) will implement the following 4 strategies with providers and immunization navigators at each practice:

* Facilitator-driven clinical practice plan: The practice facilitator will assist the implementation team in creating their clinical practice in two additional modules and encourage providers to identify strategies to increase HPV vaccination.
* Training and education for staff (Immunization Navigators): The facilitator will train immunization navigators to implement the plan, and practice immunization navigators will implement the plan.
* Technical assistance plus assessment and feedback: During implementation of the plan, the facilitator will provide technical assistance, ongoing assessment and feedback, and booster trainings.
