Impact of Adolescent Vaccine Reminder Notices Sent Via Preferred Method of Communication on HPV Vaccination
A study testing Reminder Sent Via Preferred Method of Communication and Reminder Sent Via Mailed Letter in people with Papillomavirus Vaccines, run by Huong Nguyen, PhD at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
Vaccine uptake in the United States is lower in rural areas, especially for HPV vaccine. Reminder/recall has been identified as an effective strategy to increase vaccination rates. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Understanding and Addressing the Disparity in Vaccination Coverage Among U.S. Adolescents Living in Rural Versus Urban Areas
Vaccine uptake in the United States is lower in rural areas, especially for HPV vaccine. Reminder/recall has been identified as an effective strategy to increase vaccination rates. This study will assess the impact by rurality of vaccine reminder notices sent via the parent's preferred method of communication on HPV vaccination among 12 year-old patients in a regional healthcare system.

- Papillomavirus Vaccines
- Being tested
- Reminder Sent Via Preferred Method of Communication, Reminder Sent Via Mailed Letter
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Reminder Sent Via Preferred Method of CommunicationBehavioural
Parents of 12 year-old patients due for ≥1 adolescent vaccine will receive a vaccine reminder notice every other month via their preferred method of communication (text message, email, mailed letter) until the adolescent receives all recommended vaccines, opts out of reminders, or turns 13.
Reminder Sent Via Mailed LetterBehavioural
Parents of 12 year-old patients due for ≥1 adolescent vaccine will receive a mailed vaccine reminder letter every other month until the adolescent receives all recommended vaccines, opts out of reminders, or turns 13.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Enhanced Reminder | Experimental | Not described Receives: Behavioral: Reminder Sent Via Preferred Method of Communication |
| Standard of Care | Other | Not described Receives: Behavioral: Reminder Sent Via Mailed Letter |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of patients that received 1 dose of HPV vaccine during follow-up based on electronic health data
Receipt of 1 dose of HPV vaccine within 90 days of receipt of reminder (yes/no) will be assessed using vaccination data available from the Marshfield Clinic Health System electronic health record, which includes vaccinations administered outside of MCHS through data exchanges with the Wisconsin Immunization Registry. Specifically patients will be classified as having received 1 dose of HPV vaccine if they have record of receipt of HPV vaccine with a vaccination date during the 90-day follow-up period.
Measured: 90 days
