Summary

In this project, the investigators will develop, implement, and evaluate an adolescent vaccination quality improvement program, with the program designed to encourage adolescents to visit their usual primary care provider to receive vaccinations and other recommended preventive health services. This study will be conducted in different types of primary care settings, such as public, private, and managed care clinics serving adolescent patients of diverse backgrounds, and will provide important information to help guide future public health efforts to achieve high rates of immunization in adolescents.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Text Message Reminder/Recall

Adolescents will be randomly selected from the participating private practices and safety net organization clinics. Parents of selected adolescents will receive a text message to alert them that their child is due for a vaccine or well-care visit. The text message will provide response instructions. The responses can be one of three options: 1) the parent will call the clinic to schedule a visit, 2) the parent would like the clinic to call them to schedule a visit, or 3) the parent would like to stop any future text message reminders. Parents who would like the clinic to call them to schedule an appointment will be contacted by their child's provider to set up a visit. Parents may receive up to 3 text message reminders, unless they chose to stop any future messages.

BEHAVIORAL

Parent Preference

Parents of adolescents being seen within the managed care organization's intervention clinics will be asked about their reminder method preference at their child's 1st HPV immunization. The preference options include phone call, text message, or email. The preference for contact method will be recorded and utilized for the 2nd and 3rd dose reminders. The clinics' usual method of reminder will be used for all other parents.
