Study Focus: This study aims to improve the uptake of the HPV vaccine (which helps prevent cancers caused by the human papillomavirus) in young cancer survivors aged 9-17 who are at higher risk for new cancers. The study evaluates an intervention called HPV-PROTECT used by healthcare providers in pediatric oncology clinics.
HPV-PROTECT Intervention: The intervention has three parts: 1) Provider Communication Training to better recommend the vaccine, 2) Assessment and Peer Feedback/Coaching to improve communication skills, and 3) a Provider Toolkit to help providers with vaccine-related information. It aims to increase healthcare providers' knowledge and skills in recommending the HPV vaccine and decrease barriers to vaccine uptake.
- Duration & Visits: Participation includes completing surveys and/or interviews.
- Eligibility: Targets healthcare providers who treat cancer survivors, and young cancer survivors aged 9-17.
- Compensation: Not specified, but participants contribute to valuable research for improving health outcomes.
This study will offer insights into increasing HPV vaccine rates, potentially leading to broader use in clinics.
