Primary Care Clinic- Physicians
Physician participants will receive the self-directed app based curriculum. The physician participants will engage in the VR simulations independently. Virtual Immersive Communication Training on Recommending Immunizations (VICTORI): An intervention that includes a self-directed app based curriculum and virtual reality simulations, designed to increase the strength and consistency of HPV vaccine recommendations among clinicians.
Primary Care Clinic- Staff
We will implement VICTORI with staff including nurses and medical assistants in groups of up to 15-20 participants (phase II; secondary outcome). Staff will watch a 5-minute video on evidence-based practices in recommending the HPV vaccine and observe a facilitator and clinician participating in the VICTORI VR simulations, and then engage in a 5-minute debriefing.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: The electronic health record was used to identify patients' HPV vaccine initiation rates for participating physicians at the intervention and control sites. The pre-intervention period was 6 months before VICTORI and app-based training implementation (February 1, 2020-July 31, 2020), and the post-intervention period was 6 months following implementation (October 1, 2020-March 31, 2021). The primary outcome was the change in rates of HPV vaccine initiation pre vs post the VICTORI intervention.

The primary outcome was the percent change from pre versus post VICTORI in rates of HPV vaccine initiation among eligible patients presenting to clinic.
