About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine if women would find it acceptable to receive the HPV vaccine postpartum at the pediatrician's office at the time of their child's two-month well- child visit when offered during the third trimester of pregnancy.

Read the detailed description

There are a large number of young adult women who have not received any doses of HPV vaccine or are incompletely vaccinated. Recommendation for HPV vaccine could occur during pregnancy with the administration of the vaccine postpartum. Finding a way to make it easy for women to present for vaccination is imperative as this is currently a 3-vaccine series. The investigators are interested in understanding if women would find it acceptable if the investigators discussed and encouraged the vaccine while pregnant with receipt of the vaccine through their child's pediatrician at well-child visits in the postpartum period. The investigators will survey women in the third trimester of pregnancy to determine if they would find this acceptable and follow-up with them after their child's two month pediatric visit to reevaluate their opinion. No doses of the vaccine will be given.

The investigators are also interested in understanding other factors that could affect whether or not women would be interested in receiving the HPV vaccine postpartum. This includes rates of attendance at postpartum visits as well as behavioral, knowledge and demographic characteristics that may be associated with acceptability of receiving the vaccine.

What is being measured

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

  1. Acceptability of HPV vaccination

    Estimation of the proportion of women indicating that they would be willing to receive the HPV vaccine postpartum at pediatric well-child visits if offered in the third trimester of pregnancy

    Measured: At time of enrollment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Proportion of women attending postpartum visits

    Estimation of the proportion of women who attend postpartum visits with their obstetric care providers

    Measured: At time of follow-up which will occur 8 weeks after delivery. This could occur up to 5 months after enrollment.

  2. Estimate of baseline prevalence of prior HPV vaccination in study population

    Participants eligible for participation based on maternal age and gestational age will be screened for prior doses of HPV vaccine by self-report. Number of participants with self-report of prior HPV vaccination will be recorded and baseline prevalence from our population will be determined.

    Measured: at time of enrollment
