Summary: This study reviewed interventions to improve HPV vaccine uptake among adolescents and found that provider-specific and patient/parent-specific interventions were common, with a focus on education and knowledge empowerment. However, system-level interventions were less commonly prescribed, despite having a greater impact on the overall outcome.

Summary: This study investigated the attitudes of patients with a history of cervical dysplasia towards HPV vaccination and the counseling patterns of healthcare providers. The results showed that a small proportion of patients received the HPV vaccine, with a higher vaccination rate among White patients. The study also found that only a small number of patients received counseling regarding vaccination during their visits.

Summary: The uptake of the HPV vaccine in the US was initially low, especially among adolescent males. To address this issue, the CDC partnered with a communications development company to launch a national campaign. Research shows that this campaign had a positive impact on improving HPV vaccine uptake among adolescent males.

Summary: HPV vaccination rates are not ideal in the United States. A study differentiated characteristics of mothers with high intent from those who already vaccinated their adolescents. This study found that clinicians can improve HPV vaccination uptake by giving repeated, high-quality recommendations to parents. Perceived social norms may also play a role in vaccine uptake.

Summary: Despite having regular healthcare providers, racial/ethnic minorities still have significantly lower levels of knowledge about HPV. Compared to Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, and other racial/ethnic minorities have lower odds of having heard of HPV and the HPV vaccine. Addressing disparities in health information and improving provider-patient communication on HPV and the HPV vaccine is necessary based on the data presented.

Summary: The study found that provider follow-up after the visit is crucial for promoting secondary acceptance of HPV vaccination, while an active provider response during the visit is not directly associated with secondary acceptance. Parents generally believe that healthcare providers should actively respond to HPV vaccine declination and follow-up afterwards.

Summary: This study found that healthcare provider recommendation is crucial for HPV vaccination among Hispanic/Latinx adolescents, but there are differences in how parents receive provider recommendations across different Hispanic/Latinx subgroups. Efforts are needed to improve communication and recommendations for HPV vaccination among the Hispanic/Latinx population, as well as to ensure language assistance services are available for individuals with limited English proficiency.

Summary: This study aimed to increase HPV vaccination completion rates in a pediatric primary care network serving minority and Medicaid-insured children in the United States. By utilizing electronic medical records, statistical process control, and implementing interventions, the completion rates increased from 27% to 65% overall in the 13-year teen population, with three clinics reaching the 70% goal for at least one quarter. Further research is needed to improve HPV vaccine completion rates in teens.

Summary: This study highlights Tanzania's efforts in preventing cervical cancer, including the introduction of HPV vaccines and the accomplishment of most of the planned vaccination. The work involved collaboration between government departments, the World Health Organization, and other partners, with training and meetings conducted at various levels for advocacy and promotion. While the coverage for the first dose of the vaccine is relatively high, efforts are still needed to improve the uptake of the second dose.

Summary: The study found that clinicians implementing ROR report positive impacts in various aspects including child/family impact, physician impact, impact on clinic practice, and social determinants of health. By helping patients, families, and improving service quality, clinicians believe that the ROR program has a positive influence on their satisfaction and practice methods.
