Summary

Latino and African American populations have a higher rate of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine initiation; however, they have a significantly less likelihood of completing the vaccine series. Pharmacists are licensed to vaccinate against the HPV virus. However, they are less likely to administer the vaccine. Although past research has recommended incorporating pharmacists to increase adolescent vaccination, no intervention studies, to our knowledge, have tested a healthcare delivery model that incorporates pharmacists to complete the HPV vaccine series. The aims of this pilot randomized controlled trial are to 1) determine the preliminary efficacy of an intervention to increase HPV vaccine series completion with the community pharmacist vs. with the primary care provider among racially/ethnically diverse participants, and 2) assess perceived intervention feasibility and acceptability of the intervention among intervention participants and primary care clinic staff.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Community Pharmacists Vaccinating Against Cancer

Upon completing informed consent, parents of children who have received Dose 1 of the HPV vaccine at the recent clinical visit will be invited to participate in the study. Upon completing the demographic form and pre-test survey for the study, they will be randomized to intervention or control group. Participants in the intervention group will be asked to complete the additional vaccine doses with their community pharmacist. A provider from the participating clinic will electronically prescribe the HPV vaccine dose. Participants in the control group will be scheduled to return to the clinic (based on the vaccine schedule) to complete the vaccine series. The research team will conduct a follow-up survey six months after baseline for each participant. A sample (n=30) of intervention and control group participants will be invited to participate in an in-depth interview to gauge both parents' and children's' acceptability of this intervention.
