Web-Based Human Papillomavirus Education and Professional Skills Intervention for Health Care Providers: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

 The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is an effective way to prevent HPV and its associated cancers. Provider recommendation has been shown to be one of the most successful strategies for increasing the uptake of the HPV vaccine; however, more training and resources are needed to help boost health care providers' confidence and communication skills in recommending the HPV vaccine to their patients, particularly in underserved Hispanic communities where vaccination rates among all ages are lower.

Objective

 This study aims to compare HPV educational and professional skills intervention effectiveness on improving provider recommendations and patient communication strategies with health care providers serving the El Paso United States-Mexico border region.
