Impact of Standing Orders Optimization
Human Papilloma Virus

About this trial
This is an interventional health services research trial for Human Papilloma Virus focused on measuring Human Papilloma Virus, Pediatric medicine, Primary care, Standing orders, Vaccination
Eligibility Criteria
This trial will enroll clinics and intervene with clinical staff. We will use vaccination data from children and survey data from clinical staff to evaluate intervention effectiveness. We will not enroll children or interact with them directly. Inclusion Criteria Clinics are eligible if they: provide HPV vaccine to children ages 9-12 have standing orders for HPV vaccination approved but not routinely used or be willing to adopt them prior to the start of the trial have rates of HPV vaccination (≥1 dose) below 72%, boys and girls combined Children's medical records will be eligible to be included in the dataset if children: are between the ages of 9-12 years at baseline are attributed to a participating clinic at 12- or 24-month follow-up Clinical staff's survey data will be eligible to be included in the dataset if clinical staff complete the follow-up survey. Exclusion Criteria Clinics are excluded if they: do not provide HPV vaccine to children ages 9-12 do not have standing orders for HPV vaccination or are not willing to adopt them prior to the start of the trial have rates of HPV vaccination (≥1 dose) above 72%, boys and girls combined have hosted an AAT workshop in the previous 3 years or are part of current HPV vaccine communication trainings have quality improvement efforts to change HPV vaccine standing orders during the trial Children's medical records will not be eligible to be included in the dataset if children: are not between the ages of 9-12 years at baseline are not attributed to a participating clinic at 12- or 24-month follow-up are receiving hospice/palliative care, are pregnant, or have a history of HPV vaccine contraindications Clinical staff's survey data will be not eligible to be included in the dataset if clinical staff do not complete the follow-up survey.

HPV vaccine communication training
HPV vaccine communication training and standing orders optimization
Staff in clinics randomized to this arm will receive an intervention called Announcement Approach Training (AAT). This training is designed to improve communication about HPV vaccination.
Staff in clinics randomized to this arm will receive the AAT and conduct a set of activities to optimize use of HPV vaccine standing orders.
