Improving HPV vaccine communication and uptake through provider training
IMPACT Project 1 – The impact of standing orders support on HPV vaccine communication and uptake
This study is all about helping kids get the HPV vaccine by training doctors and nurses to talk to parents in a friendly way about the vaccine and make the process easier for everyone involved.

What this research studies
This research focuses on increasing the uptake of the HPV vaccine among children by training healthcare providers to use effective communication strategies. The training, known as Announcement Approach Training (AAT), teaches providers to confidently recommend the vaccine while addressing any concerns parents may have. The project also aims to enhance the role of the entire primary care team, including nurses and medical assistants, by implementing standing orders that streamline the vaccination process. By conducting interviews and surveys, the research seeks to understand and improve the involvement of healthcare teams in promoting HPV vaccination.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are children aged 0-11 years who are due for HPV vaccination.
Not a fit: Patients who are already vaccinated against HPV or those outside the targeted age range may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to higher HPV vaccination rates, ultimately reducing the incidence of HPV-related cancers.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that effective provider communication can significantly improve vaccination rates, indicating that this approach has potential for success.
