Feasibility of using an app-based coaching intervention to improve provider communication about HPV vaccination.
Translational behavioral medicine(2023)
摘要
Provider communication training is effective for increasing HPV vaccination rates among U.S. adolescents. However, such trainings often rely on in-person meetings, which can be burdensome for providers and costly to implement. To evaluate the feasibility of Checkup Coach, an app-based coaching intervention, to improve provider communication about HPV vaccination. In 2021, we offered Checkup Coach to providers in 7 primary care clinics in a large integrated delivery system. Participating providers (n = 19) attended a 1-h interactive virtual workshop that taught 5 high-quality practices for recommending HPV vaccination. Providers then had 3 months of access to our mobile app, which offered ongoing communication assessments, tailored tips for addressing parents' concerns, and a dashboard of their clinic's HPV vaccination coverage. Online surveys assessed pre-/post-intervention changes in providers' perceptions and communication behaviors. Compared to baseline, more providers reported high-quality HPV vaccine recommendation practices at 3-month follow-up (47% vs. 74%, p < .05). Providers' knowledge, self-efficacy, and shared commitment to improving HPV vaccination also improved (all p < .05). Although we found improvements in several other cognitions after the workshop, these changes did not retain statistical significance at 3 months. About three-quarters (78%) of providers used the mobile app, logging 2.3 sessions on average. Most providers agreed the app was easy to use (mean = 4.7/5.0), a convenient way to get vaccination data (mean = 4.6/5.0), and a tool they would recommend (mean = 4.3/5.0). Our app-based coaching intervention demonstrated feasibility and warrants additional evaluation as a novel mode for training providers to improve their HPV vaccine communication.
