Improving communication training for healthcare providers to boost HPV vaccination rates
Data Core – Improving Provider Announcement Communication Training (IMPACT)
This study is all about helping doctors and nurses talk more effectively about the HPV vaccine so that more teens can get vaccinated, and it involves gathering feedback from healthcare teams to find the best ways to improve communication.

What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the way healthcare providers communicate about the HPV vaccine to increase its uptake among adolescents. The project involves surveying a large group of primary care team members, including physicians and nurses, to gather data on current communication practices and barriers. By analyzing this data, the research aims to develop effective strategies that can be implemented across various healthcare settings to improve vaccination rates. The Data Core will also standardize and manage vaccination data to support ongoing research efforts.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include adolescents and young adults who are eligible for the HPV vaccine and their healthcare providers.
Not a fit: Patients who are not eligible for the HPV vaccine or those who have already been vaccinated may not receive direct benefits from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to increased HPV vaccination rates, ultimately reducing the incidence of HPV-related cancers.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that improving provider communication can significantly enhance vaccination rates, indicating that this approach has potential for success.
