An interventional study of Mailers and Provider Materials in School Health Services, sponsored by Kaiser Permanente. Enrolling by invitation at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 9 Years to 18 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-05-01.
Sponsored by Kaiser Permanente · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
School-based health centers (SBHCs) are an important setting to improve health through detecting, managing and preventing chronic illness. Too few people are educated about the human papillomavirus (HPV), which can prevent tens of thousands of deaths from cancer each year. PEER will evaluate a program to increase health and wellness and the use of SBHCs for primary and preventive care. If successful, PEER could significantly increase the use of SBHCs, and decrease HPV-associated cancers and, thus, reduce the burden of cancer in the United States.
Kaiser Permanente is the lead sponsor of 385 studies on the registry; 41 are open to participants now.
Of its 6 completed or terminated interventional studies of FDA-regulated products, 3 (50%) have results posted.

Exclusion Criteria:
- None
All participating SBHCs offer routine HPV vaccination recommendations as part of clinical care and SBHC staff will continue to follow standard procedures to deliver these services. Further, all SBHCs have existing relationships with the affiliated schools, so the delivery of these healthcare services in the context of schools will not deviate from usual care.
Intervention components (mailers, provider materials, and peer-to-peer educational sessions) will be administered during the intervention portion of each cluster.
Behavioral: Mailers · Behavioral: Provider Materials · Behavioral: Peer-to-Peer Educational Sessions
