Healthcare Provider Human Papillomavirus Education and Professional Skills Intervention

February 28, 2024 updated by: Eva Moya, University of Texas, El Paso

Implementing Innovative and Strategic Approaches to Prevent and Mitigate the Deleterious Effects of HPV Across the Lifespan of Hispanics of Mexican Origin: Healthcare Provider Intervention

Healthcare providers (HCP) serving the El Paso U.S.-Mexico Border Region will be recruited to compare educational and professional skills interventions focused on the human papillomavirus (HPV). Our hypothesis is that improving provider knowledge and communication strategies about HPV and its vaccine will reduce hesitancy and increase uptake and completion among the populations they serve.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

A sample of emerging [in training] and current [in practice] health professionals from the El Paso U.S.-Mexico Border Region will be recruited to participate in a human papillomavirus (HPV) educational and professional skills intervention. Hypothesis: improving provider knowledge and communication strategies about HPV and its vaccine will reduce hesitancy and increase uptake and completion among eligible individuals through a tailored multi-media intervention to strengthen providers' ability to discuss HPV and vaccination in an informed and culturally competent manner, and increase subsequent provider recommendations.
