• Registration Number: NCT05736718
• Lead Sponsor: UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center

Brief Summary

This trial will compare two ways to improve communication about HPV vaccination in primary care. The research team will work with primary care clinics. Some clinics will receive communication training from an outside expert. Other clinics will receive the same training from a vaccine champion from their healthcare system.

Detailed Description

The researchers will conduct a cluster randomized non-inferiority trial. The trial will compare two ways of delivering a communication workshop called Announcement Approach Training (AAT). AAT is designed to improve communication about HPV vaccination in primary care. The researchers will randomize clinics within participating healthcare systems. Some clinics will receive the training from an outside expert. Other clinics will receive the same training from a vaccine champion from their own system. The researchers will use medical record data to compare changes in HPV vaccination among children ages 9-12. Clinics will be followed for 12 months. The study will engage clinical staff. Researchers will not have direct contact with children or their families.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Champion AAT	Champion Announcement Approach Training	Staff in clinics randomized to this arm will receive an intervention called Announcement Approach Training (AAT). This training is designed to improve communication about HPV vaccination. The training will be organized and delivered by vaccine champions from participating healthcare systems.
Traditional AAT	Traditional Announcement Approach Training	Staff in clinics randomized to this arm will also receive Announcement Approach Training (AAT). The training will be organized and delivered by outside experts.
