Summary

This study tested whether training rural doctors through video sessions (Project ECHO) could increase HPV vaccination rates in 11-14 year olds. Some clinics also sent recall notices to parents who initially declined the vaccine. The goal was to see if these strategies help more teens get vaccinated.
