About this study

Official title: The Impact of Clinic-level Financial Incentives on HPV Vaccine Communication and Uptake

This trial will look at the impact of clinic-level financial incentives to improve provider communication and increase HPV vaccine uptake. Some clinics will receive communication training. Other clinics will receive the same training and a clinic-level financial incentive program with a monthly data feedback report to increase HPV vaccine uptake.

Read the detailed description

The researchers will conduct a cluster randomized control trial. This trial will look at the impact of clinic-level financial incentives to improve provider communication and increase HPV vaccine uptake. The recruitment goal for the trial is 34 clinics in healthcare systems, including 9 rural-serving clinics. The researchers will randomize clinics using simple randomization (1:1). Some clinics will receive communication training. Other clinics will receive the same training and a clinic-level financial incentive program with a monthly data feedback report to increase HPV vaccine uptake. The researchers will use medical record data to compare changes in HPV vaccination among children ages 9-12. Clinics will be followed for 24 months. The study will engage clinical staff. Researchers will not have direct contact with children or their families.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Communication trainingBehavioural

    Clinics will host an Announcement Approach Training (AAT) workshop. A trained facilitator will use a standard script and slides to deliver workshop in-person or over Zoom; clinical staff who are unavailable will take the workshop later on their own.

  • financial IncentiveBehavioural

    Clinics will host an AAT workshop, as in the other trial arm. Clinics in the intervention arm will then receive a 12-month clinic-level financial incentive program with predetermined targets for HPV vaccine initiation rates (5%, 10%, and 30% increases from baseline). Clinics will be notified of their HPV vaccination rates though a monthly, automated report. Clinic achievement will be assessed and incentives will be paid out to clinics monthly. Incentives will be tiered based on target and sized based on the number of clinic providers. For reaching the highest tier of 30%, clinics will receive an aggregate of $1000 per provider.

What is being measured

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

  1. HPV vaccination (≥1 dose), 9-12 year olds

    Proportion of unvaccinated children who initiate the HPV vaccine series between baseline and 12-month follow-up, among those who were ages 9-12 at baseline.

    Measured: from baseline to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. HPV vaccination (≥1 dose), 9-12 year olds

    Proportion of unvaccinated children who initiate the HPV vaccine series between 13- and 24-month follow-up, among those who were ages 9-12 at 13 months.

    Measured: from 13 months to 24 months

  2. HPV vaccination (≥2 doses), 9-12 year olds

    Proportion of unvaccinated children who complete the HPV vaccine series between baseline and 12-month follow-up, among those who were ages 9-12 at baseline.

    Measured: from baseline to 12 months

  3. HPV vaccination (≥2 doses), 9-12 year olds

    Proportion of unvaccinated children who complete the HPV vaccine series between 13- and 24-month follow-up, among those who were ages 9-12 at 13 months.

    Measured: from 13 months to 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Communication training and financial Incentive in people with Human Papilloma Virus, run by UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer 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 9 inclusion and 11 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Sep 2026. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 (≥1 dose), 9-12 year olds (time frame: from baseline to 12 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 30 Sep 2026.
