Study summary

HPV vaccination can prevent up to 90% of cervical cancer cases, but adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) require additional doses for sufficient protection beyond the single dose recommended for adolescent girls in Zambia. There are challenges to ensuring ALHIV receive all necessary doses without increasing burden and stigma on the girls. Integrating HPV vaccination into ART clinics can be an effective approach to doing so but requires a multi-pronged strategy for successful implementation.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Tertiary Care Cohort

    Participants in this arm will complete the multi-component training that aims at improving healthcare worker competencies around HPV and HPV vaccines. Participants will complete pre- and post- training questionnaires, as well as quantitative surveys administered at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months that measure implementation outcomes.

    Behavioral: HPV-HIV integration training and Audit & Feedback support

Interventions

  • BehavioralHPV-HIV integration training and Audit & Feedback support

    The HPV-HIV integration training covers six core modules. The six core modules include HPV epidemiology and vaccine indications, identification of eligible adolescents, adolescent-centered communication, workflow integration procedures, documentation and reporting systems, and strategies to reduce missed opportunities. The training will occur over a period of 3 days. Participants will receive facilitator manuals, screening tools, referral algorithms, and job aids. Audit \& Feedback of vaccination data will support integration and documentation.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Tertiary Care Cohort: Changes in HPV knowledge

    Changes in HPV knowledge will be assessed by changes in the HPV knowledge portion of the pre/post training questionnaire. This portion of the questionnaire is composed of 10 questions that are answered True/False/Don't Know. Correct answers are scored as 1 point. The total score is calculated by the number of questions answered correctly with a total score range of 0-10. A higher score represents higher knowledge.

    Time frame: At time of pre-training assessment (day 1) and at time of post-training assessment (day 3) (total estimated time: 3 days)

  2. Tertiary Care Cohort: Changes in HPV vaccine knowledge

    Changes in HPV vaccine knowledge will be assessed by changes in the HPV vaccine knowledge portion of the pre/post training questionnaire. This portion of the questionnaire is composed of 6 questions with one question being open ended, three questions answered as True/False/Don't Know, and two questions answered as Strongly disagree, Disagree, Agree, Strongly agree, or Don't Know. Correct answers are scored as 1 point. The total score is calculated by the number of questions answered correctly with a total score range of 0-6. A higher score represents higher knowledge.

    Time frame: At time of pre-training assessment (day 1) and at time of post-training assessment (day 3) (total estimated time: 3 days)

  3. Tertiary Care Cohort: Changes in Self-Efficacy and Provider Confidence score

    Changes in Self-Efficacy and Provider Confidence score will be assessed by changes in the Self-Efficacy and Provider Confidence portion of the Post Training Survey. This portion of the questionnaire is composed of 4 questions answered as either Strongly disagree, Disagree, Neither agree nor disagree, Agree, or Strongly agree. Correct answers are scored as 1 point. The total score is calculated by the number of questions answered correctly with a total score range of 0-4. A higher score represents greater self-efficacy/confidence.

    Time frame: At time of pre-training assessment (day 1) and at time of post-training assessment (day 3) (total estimated time: 3 days)

  4. Tertiary Care Cohort: Proportion of eligible/invited staff that attended training

    Time frame: At start of training through completion of training (total estimated time: 3 days)

  5. Tertiary Care Cohort: Feasibility as assessed by training attendance

    Time frame: At start of training through completion of training (total estimated time: 3 days)

  6. Tertiary Care Cohort: Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM) score

    FIM will be assessed by implementation champions' response to the 4 items in from the FIM measure on the follow up survey. FIM is measured by a 5-point Likert scale: 1-Completely disagree, 2-Disagree, 3-Neither agree nor Disagree, 4-Agree, or 5-Completely agree. A higher score indicates greater feasibility of the intervention in practice. Scores above 3.0 are typically viewed as favorable/positive.

    Time frame: At time of post-session survey completion on day 3 (total estimated time: 1 day)

  7. Tertiary Care Cohort: Adoption measured as rate of HPV vaccination

    Rate of HPV vaccination will be assessed through vaccination records.

    Time frame: Through 12 months post training (total estimated time: 12 months 3 days)

  8. Tertiary Care Cohort: Acceptability measured as Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) score

    AIM will be assessed by implementation champions' response to the 4 items of the AIM measure on the follow up survey. AIM is 5-point Likert scale question measured as follows: 1-Completely disagree, 2-Disagree, 3-Neither agree nor Disagree, 4-Agree, or 5-Completely agree. A higher score indicates greater acceptability. Scores above 3.0 are typically viewed as favorable/positive.

    Time frame: At time of post-session survey completion on day 3 (total estimated time: 1 day)

  9. Tertiary Care Cohort: Appropriateness measured as Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM) score

    IAM will be assessed by implementation champions' response to 4 items from the IAM measure on the follow up survey. IAM is measured by a 5-point Likert scale: 1-Completely disagree, 2-Disagree, 3-Neither agree nor Disagree, 4-Agree, or 5-Completely agree. A higher score indicates greater appropriateness of the intervention. Scores above 3.0 are typically viewed as favorable/positive.

    Time frame: At time of post-session survey completion on day 3 (total estimated time: 1 day)

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
