Human Papillomavirus Education Programs

Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center12 enrolled

Overview

This clinical trial aims to implement a culturally-tailored educational outreach actives with the goal of increasing knowledge of human papillomavirus (HPV) types that can lead to cancer and uptake of the available vaccine. The initiative also addresses barriers to vaccination and refer people to sites where they can get the HPV vaccine (e.g., private doctor offices, community health clinics, school-based health centers, and health departments). The HPV education program may help increase HPV vaccination rates and ultimately prevent HPV-related cancers.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To implement culturally tailored educational outreach activities with the goal of increasing knowledge of HPV types that can lead to cancer and uptake of the available vaccine. OUTLINE: Participants attend educational session about HPV-related cancers, screening, and HPV vaccination and guidelines and receive informational infographic handout on HPV vaccination. Participants also complete surveys pre and post education session over 5 minutes each to assess HPV vaccination status among children of participants, HPV knowledge, and intentions to get the HPV vaccination, and screening among participants. Participants participate in surveys over telephone or face-to-face at 3 and 6 months.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in human papillomavirus (HPV) knowledge

Change in knowledge and strength of intention to be vaccinated will be correlated with key outcomes, specifically actual vaccination and actions promoting vaccination (e.g., encouraging HPV vaccination with family/friends, talking to their doctor/provider about the HPV vaccine). Multivariable logistic regression analyses will be conducted to examine the impact of knowledge change and strength of intentions on these binary outcomes (vaccinated/not vaccinated and encouraged/did not encourage HPV vaccination) controlling for important covariates such as age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, primary language, and health insurance/health care coverage.

Time frame: Baseline up to 6 months
