# Investigating Facilitator-driven, Multi-level Implementation Strategies in Federally Qualified Health Centers to Improve Provider Recommendation and HPV Vaccination Rates Among Latino/a Adolescents

**NCT ID:** [NCT06598475](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06598475)

## Key Facts

- **Status:** RECRUITING
- **Phase:** NA
- **Study Type:** INTERVENTIONAL
- **Target Enrollment:** 225
- **Lead Sponsor:** The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston
- **Collaborators:** National Cancer Institute (NCI)
- **Conditions:** Human Papillomavirus Infection
- **Start Date:** 2025-03-13
- **Completion Date:** 2028-08-01
- **CT.gov Last Update:** 2026-05-04

## Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the provider- and practice-level characteristics that influence the impact of implementation strategies guided by practice facilitation in each clinical practice, to test whether the facilitator-driven provider- and practice-level implementation strategies increase provider recommendations and Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccination rates and to evaluate implementation and future sustainability of the facilitator-driven implementation strategies across nine clinical practice sites

## Eligibility

- **Minimum age:** 11 Years
- **Maximum age:** 17 Years
- **Sex:** ALL
- **Healthy Volunteers:** No

```
Inclusion Criteria:

* FQHC's with less than 60% HPV vaccine initiation rate for 11-12 year old adolescents overall at their practice sites
* FQHC's that have family medicine and/or pediatric practices
* a total adolescent patient population at least 50% Latino
* be willing for Health Care Provider (HCP) and staff members to receive education, training, and support; complete standardized measurement, and agree to randomization.
* Providers, aged 18 and over, employed at each FQHC (4 staff per practice)
* Staff, aged 18 and over, employed at each FQHC (5 staff per practice)
* Implementation team members (i.e., administrative designee, health care providers, immunization navigators, and other staff), aged 18 and over, employed at each FQHC (4 members per practice)
* Parents (aged 18 and over) of patients ages 11-17 seeking care at each FQHC (25 per practice).

Exclusion Criteria:

-FQHCs that participated in the pilot study were excluded.

## Arms

- **Step 1 (3 clinics)-15 months control then 30 months intervention** (EXPERIMENTAL)
- **Step 2 (3 clinics)-21 months control then 24 months intervention** (EXPERIMENTAL)
- **Step 3 (3 clinics)-27 months control then 18 months intervention** (EXPERIMENTAL)

## Interventions

- **Facilitator-driven provider- and practice-level implementation strategies for influencing provider recommendations and practice-level HPV vaccination rates** (OTHER) — The practice facilitator (UTHealth research staff) will implement the following 4 strategies with providers and immunization navigators at each practice:

* Facilitator-driven provider education: The practice facilitator will conduct one provider education module (5 total modules) over three months with health care providers using a booklet and resource binder.
* Facilitator-driven clinical practice plan: The practice facilitator will assist the implementation team in creating their clinical practice in two additional modules and encourage providers to identify strategies to increase HPV vaccination.
* Training and education for staff (Immunization Navigators): The facilitator will train immunization navigators to implement the plan, and practice immunization navigators will implement the plan.
* Technical assistance plus assessment and feedback: During implementation of the plan, the facilitator will provide technical assistance, ongoing assessment and feedback, and booster trainings.

## Primary Outcomes

- **Percentage of vaccine-eligible males and females at each clinic who received the first valid dose of the HPV vaccine series before their 13th birthday.** _(time frame: From baseline to end of study ( about 60 months from baseline))_
- **Percentage of vaccine-eligible males and females at each clinic who received the second valid dose of the HPV vaccine series 6-12 months after their first dose and before their 13th birthday.** _(time frame: From baseline to end of study ( about 60 months from baseline))_

## Secondary Outcomes

- **Percentage of vaccine-eligible males and females at each clinic who received the first valid dose of the HPV vaccine series before their 18th birthday.** _(time frame: From baseline to end of study ( about 60 months from baseline))_
- **Percentage of vaccine-eligible 13-14 y/o males and females at each clinic who received the second valid dose of the HPV vaccine series 6-12 months after first dose and before their 15th birthday** _(time frame: From baseline to end of study ( about 60 months from baseline))_
- **Percentage of vaccine-eligible 15-17 y/o males and females at each clinic who received the second valid dose of the HPV vaccine series 2 months after first dose and before their 18th birthday** _(time frame: From baseline to end of study ( about 60 months from baseline))_
- **Percentage of vaccine-eligible 15-17 y/o males and females at each clinic who received the third valid dose of the HPV vaccine series 4 months after second dose and before their 18th birthday.** _(time frame: From baseline to end of study ( about 60 months from baseline))_
- **Percentage of non-well visits in which HPV vaccine was not administered, among all visits for active vaccine-eligible patients ages 11-17 by clinic** _(time frame: From baseline to end of study ( about 60 months from baseline))_
- **Percentage of males and females at each clinic who received Tdap and MenACWY at age 11 as a requirement to attend 7th grade in Texas.** _(time frame: From baseline to end of study ( about 60 months from baseline))_
