About this study

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a managed care-based HPV vaccination reminder/recall system using a randomized controlled trial (RCT) across diverse practices and patient populations. The trial will measure the effectiveness of text messaging reminder/recall on (a) improving initiation and (b) completion rate of the HPV vaccine series; (c) decreasing the time between vaccine doses; and (d) improving rates of preventive visits for adolescents

The hypotheses are that text-messaged reminders to parents of adolescents will result in improved rates of HPV vaccine series initiation, HPV vaccine series completion, will decrease the intervals between vaccine doses and will improve rates of preventive care among adolescents. Parents receiving specific text-messaged reminders about services (i.e. HPV vaccination, well child care visits) for which their adolescent is due will be compared to a control group of parents receiving general health tips through text messages.

Read the detailed description

The study setting is western New York State and the Southern Tier of New York State (15 counties total). Investigators will work with the Monroe Plan for Medical Care, an IPA-model managed care organization (MCO) that serves Medicaid managed care and SCHIP enrollees. The MCO will conduct regular reviews of insurance claims data and the New York State Immunization Information System of adolescents ages 11-<16 years. Parents (all over 18 years of age) of adolescents will receive the texted messages on their phones.

There are no enrollment restrictions based upon race or ethnic origin. The inclusion criteria are that the adolescents are a) enrolled in Medicaid or SCHIP through the Monroe Plan, b) have been enrolled greater than 6 months with the Monroe Plan (in order to have sufficient claims data to determine whether they are due for a well child care visit or recommended immunizations), c) the Monroe Plan has received their consent to send preventive care text messages, d) their child attend a primary care practice that has agreed to participate and d) they are between the ages of 11-<16 years at the start of the study.

The key independent measure is group allocation (intervention vs. control); an intention-to-treat strategy will be used to assess the effectiveness of text messaging reminders. Key outcome measures will be: 1) receipt of 0, 1, 2 or 3 doses of HPV vaccine 2) interval (in days) between doses and 3) having a preventive visit in the 6 month period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Text-based reminder for recommended HPV vaccine or WCC and Non-specific text-based reminder (general health tip) in people with Human Papilloma Virus, run by University of Rochester at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Participants Receiving HPV Vaccination (Dose 1) (time frame: 9 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jun 2017.
