NCT ID NCT06831383
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two strategies to help clinics increase HPV vaccination rates among children aged 9-17. One strategy provides online communication training for providers; the other adds a learning collaborative with performance feedback. The goal is to see which approach works best to get more kids their first HPV vaccine dose, ultimately preventing HPV-related cancers.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- HPV vaccine (Gardasil 9, standard of care)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show how to boost HPV vaccination rates in real-world clinics, preventing thousands of HPV-related cancers each year.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral study, not testing a new vaccine or drug. Success depends on clinics adopting the strategies, and results may vary across different health systems.
