HPV Multilevel Intervention Strategies Targeting Immunization in Community Settings (HPV MISTICS)

HPV Multilevel Intervention Strategies Targeting Immunization in Community Settings (HPV MISTICS)

This intervention study will use parent-, provider-, and health center-level strategies to promote HPV vaccination among 11-17 year olds receiving care in 8 community health centers in Florida, will explore factors related to the intervention effect, and will explore implementation outcomes of the intervention.

The goals of this multi-level intervention study are to: 1) test whether HPV MISTICS intervention increases human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine initiation and completion rates among 11-17-year-old adolescents in 8 Health Choice Network-affiliated community health centers in Florida. 2) Explore other factors related to the intervention effect. 3) Explore implementation outcomes (i.e., reach, adoption, implementation, maintenance, and sustainability) and identify implementation barriers and facilitators with a focus on equity. The study will use parent-, provider-, and health center-level strategies to promote HPV vaccination.
