Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

Healthcare providers (HCP) serving the El Paso U.S.-Mexico Border Region will be recruited to compare educational and professional skills interventions focused on the human papillomavirus (HPV). Our hypothesis is that improving provider knowledge and communication strategies about HPV and its vaccine will reduce hesitancy and increase uptake and completion among the populations they serve.

They must be able to participate fully and follow up in English. Those already part of earlier phases of this research or not affiliated with the specified region cannot join.
