简要总结
This project involves the research into understanding the functioning of co-located/partnering dental practices and federally qualified health centers/community health clinics in North Carolina and how dental health providers may play a role in facilitating HPV vaccination uptake for under-vaccinated populations in these co-located/partnering sites.
详细描述
Objective 1): To assess HPV-related Oropharyngeal Cancer (OPC) knowledge, perceptions, practices and barriers of general dentists and dental hygienists in North Carolina (NC).
Objective 2): To understand key infrastructure elements and policies, as well as HPV prevention strategies in place at East Carolina University School of Dental Medicine Community Service-Learning Centers (CSLCs) and their partnering Community Health Clinics/Federally Qualified Health Clinics (FQHCs).
Objective 3): Develop and assess the feasibility of a model for collaborative and effective HPV prevention strategies between dental practices (CSLCs) and co-located Community Health Clinics (FQHCs).
Hypotheses:
H1. It is hypothesized that HPV OPC knowledge, perceptions, and practices will be informed by level of HPV health literacy; where higher levels of HPV health literacy will correlate with higher levels of HPV prevention practices (i.e., oral cancer screening, education on HPV risk behaviors, HPV vaccine recommendation). The investigators expect to find gaps in one or more of the surveyed areas (knowledge, attitudes, societal norms, perceived behavior control, and current prevention practices) among dentists and dental hygienists. Last, the investigators expect to find barriers to HPV prevention practices among our sample.

主要结局
Quantitative measurements of the following variables: HPV-related Oropharyngeal Cancer knowledge, perceptions, practices and barriers as measured by a dental questionnaire to be developed by study team
时间窗: Year 1
HPV-related Oropharyngeal Cancer (OPC) knowledge, perceptions, practices and barriers of general dentists and dental hygienists in North Carolina. The dental questionnaire will be developed by study investigators and will use validated survey items, and will be piloted, and tested for readability, reliability, and validity by the research team. Use of the survey is a quantitative technique; the resulting validated data of the dental questionnaire suggests predictable outcomes.
Qualitative open ended statements will be assessed through qualitative interviews and focus groups which will generate a list of key infrastructure elements and policies, and HPV prevention strategies
时间窗: Year 2
Through qualitative assessments of interviews and focus groups with East Carolina University School of Dental Medicine Community Service-Learning Centers and their partnering community clinic/FQHCs, study investigators will develop a list of key infrastructure elements and policies, as well as HPV prevention strategies in place at East Carolina University School of Dental Medicine Community Service-Learning Centers and their partnering Community Health Clinics/Federally Qualified Health Clinics. Use of qualitative assessments with comparative reviews of EMR data suggests a validation schema to predict infrastructure needs and outcomes.
Study investigators will also conduct a review of the Electronic Medical Records of both dental and partnering medical clinic to assess how HPV-related screenings, vaccinations, and malignancies are reported
