About this study

Official title: Developing a Self-persuasion Intervention Promoting Adolescent HPV Vaccination

HPV vaccine coverage among adolescents in the US is suboptimal. This is particularly true among traditionally underserved adolescents. Few parent-targeted interventions have focused on the parental decision-making process. Self-persuasion, generating one's own arguments for engaging in a behavior, may be an effective means to influence parents' motivation to vaccinate their children. In a three-phase study, investigators are using quantitative and qualitative research methods to develop and refine a tablet-based self-persuasion intervention for parents who are undecided about the HPV vaccine. This clinical trial submission focuses on the third phase of the study (the second stage is also registered in clinical trials).

Read the detailed description

Despite the fact that HPV vaccination is recommended for male and female adolescents, HPV vaccine coverage among adolescents age 13-17 is poor (60% for girls, 41.7% for boys). HPV-related cancers are a significant burden on the US healthcare system and could be prevented through adolescent vaccination. Rates of vaccination are suboptimal among underserved populations (uninsured, low-income, racial and ethnic minorities) often seen in safety-net clinics. Few interventions have been designed that target decision-making among parents of unvaccinated adolescents. Self-persuasion, generating of one's own arguments for a health behavior, may be an effective means of influencing HPV vaccination behaviors among undecided or ambivalent parents. Through three stages, investigators will identify and develop a self-persuasion intervention strategy to promote adolescent HPV vaccination in safety-net clinics. In Stage 3, reported here, investigators will conduct a two-arm pilot randomized control trial in the safety-net clinics to assess feasibility of testing the self-persuasion intervention condition against standard of care (control group). Parent-adolescent child dyads will be enrolled. Parents will be exposed to the intervention and the primary outcome (HPV vaccination) will be assessed on the adolescent child via the electronic health record. Investigators will also examine the impact of the intervention on parent-provider discussions about HPV vaccination.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. HPV Vaccination Behavior Documented in Electronic Health Record, Initiation

    Number of parents who decided to start the HPV vaccine three dose series and got their child vaccinated within 30 days of the study appointment as evidenced by documentation in the child's electronic medical record.

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. HPV Vaccination Behavior Documented in Electronic Medical Record, Completion

    Number of doses received and the dates of those doses within 15 months of the study appointment as evidenced by documentation in the child's electronic medical record.

    Measured: 15 months

  2. Active Parent Participation During Clinical Encounter

    Investigators will explore the factors associated with parent degree of participation in the discussion with the healthcare provider during the clinical encounter using Street coding scheme of 3 types of active communication.

    Measured: 1 day

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  2. Study start21 Dec 2017
  3. Primary completion31 Jan 2019

Why it stopped: Halted early due to poor accrual and lack of time to receive intervention procedures adjacent to a clinic visit post randomization.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Project Voice and HPV Informational Video in people with Human Papillomavirus Vaccines, run by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center 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 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jan 2024. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Jan 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

HPV Vaccination Behavior Documented in Electronic Health Record, Initiation (time frame: 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02535845, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Jan 2024.
