Cash for clinics: a new way to boost HPV shots?
NCT ID NCT05744960
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether giving money to clinics can encourage doctors to talk about and offer the HPV vaccine more often. Some clinics get training on how to talk about the vaccine, while others get the same training plus a financial reward and monthly progress reports. The goal is to see if these rewards help more children ages 9-12 start and finish the HPV vaccine series.

This trial will enroll clinics and intervene with clinical staff. We will use vaccination data from children to evaluate intervention effectiveness. We will not enroll children or interact with them directly. Inclusion Criteria: Clinics are eligible if they are a pediatric or family medicine clinic in North Carolina that in the past year had: * less than 72% HPV vaccine initiation rate, * greater than or equal to 50 patients ages 9-12 * greater than or equal to 2 HPV vaccine providers * no clinic or provider-level financial incentive programs to increase system, clinic, or provider HPV vaccination rates among patients aged 9-12 in the past two years, and * no HPV vaccine provider communication trainings in the past six months. Children's medical records will be eligible to be included in the dataset if children: * are between the ages of 9-12 years at baseline and * are attributed to a participating clinic at 12- or 24-month follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: Clinics are excluded if they: * do not provide HPV vaccine to children ages 9-12 * have a specialty other than pediatrics or family medicine * had an HPV vaccine-specific financial incentive program in the past two years * had a formal HPV vaccine communication training in the past 6 months * had an HPV initiation rate greater than 72$ * had fewer than 49 patients aged 9-12 * had 1 or fewer HPV vaccine providers Children's medical records will not be eligible to be included in the dataset if children: * are not between the ages of 9-12 years at baseline * are not attributed to a participating clinic at 12- or 24-month follow-up
