Evaluation of the Implementation of a Multicomponent Intervention to Improve Health Care Provider Communication About Human Papillomavirus Vaccination
2018
Abstract Objective To evaluate the relative use, usefulness, and facilitators and barriers to use as perceived by providers of 5 different components in a human papillomavirus vaccine communication intervention—which was found to be effective at improving human papillomavirus vaccination rates. Methods Four serial surveys of 108 providers (doctor of medicine, nurse practitioner, or doctor of osteopathic medicine) from intervention clinics involved in the study assessed the use and usefulness of the 5 communication intervention components during a 12-month period. Results Survey response rates were 79% to 86%. The fact sheet (64%–77%) and motivational interviewing techniques (MI; 86%) were the most used components—use was sustained during the 12-month period. These components also were perceived as somewhat or very useful by most providers, and this perceived usefulness increased over time (very or somewhat useful at end of study, 97% fact sheet, 98% MI, respectively). Although fewer providers reported using the Web site (15%–42%), or disease images (6%–17%), when these were used, most providers (67%–87%) felt they were somewhat or very useful. The decision aid was not used frequently (17%–41% of providers), and 43% of providers felt it was not very or not at all useful. Facilitators and barriers were identified for each component. The fact sheet and MI were perceived as the easiest to integrate into the clinic workflow. Conclusions The fact sheet and MI were the most used and most useful intervention components. Both were easy to integrate into clinic workflow, and their use was sustained over time. Dissemination of similar interventions in the future should focus on these 2 specific components.
