HPV Latino Survey Workgroup: Update CPCRN Spring Meeting South Carolina March 22, 2012 Roshan Bastani & Jennifer Allen
Background Collaboration among 3 CPCRN sites: University of California, Los Angeles University of Texas, Houston University of Washington, Seattle Initiated in November in 2008 Used the Health Behavior Framework to develop a set of 24 core HPV vaccine survey items
Surveyed Latino parents of girls ages 9–18 in Los Angeles (N=274), Seattle area-Yakima Valley (N=90), Houston (N=83), Data collection and descriptive analysis are complete Drafted a collaborative manuscript based on data collected Identifying next steps based on study results Summary of Progress

Panel presentation under review for the 2012 CDC National Cancer Conference Understanding HPV vaccination among Latino adolescent girls in three U.S. regions (Glenn, Coronado, Fernandez, Taylor, Bastani) HPV vaccine use among low income, Latino adolescent girls in Los Angeles County (Glenn, Tsui, Taylor, Bastani) HPV vaccine use among Latino adolescent girls in the rural Yakima Valley (Coronado, Taylor) HPV vaccine use among urban and rural adolescent Latinas in Texas (Savas, Carmack, Fernandez) Paper submission is pending HPV Latino Survey Results
Policy sub-group: paper under review at Health Affairs Cognitive testing sub-group: work complete and paper published Other updates
Moderate rates of vaccine awareness, but low rates of uptake and intent to vaccinate across samples Attitudinal barriers were not frequently endorsed Areas to target in interventions: Increase awareness, enhance beliefs about vaccine’s efficacy and safety Provide information on where to get vaccine (e.g., VFC providers) Likely important to engage health care providers in the process Summary of Key Findings
Proposed Ideas for Cross-site Projects Implement the survey in additional populations i.e. Asian subgroups, African Americans, rural populations Adapt evidence-based interventions for other vaccines or preventive health services to promote uptake of the HPV vaccine among Latinos or other groups System/Provider-based Interventions Include HPV vaccine promotion in work with FQHCs Use of for HPV vaccine education (similar to Texas) Deliver HPV vaccine and testing education to women seeking cancer screening, particularly women with vaccine-eligible daughters
University of Washington, Seattle Receipt of a R21, University of Texas, Houston CPRIT-funded HPV Research Project, CPRIT-funded, Cancer Prevention Project, Cervical Cancer Free America: GSK funded project, University of California, Los Angeles Submission of R01 that has received a fundable score, Recently Funded HPV Grants
NCI R21 proposal funded July 2011 (w/UCLA site) Collaboration with an established Cambodian Community Coalition Primary goal: To conduct mixed-methods research that could be used to inform the development, implementation, and evaluation of culturally appropriate HPV vaccination interventions targeting Cambodian women with daughters in the 9–17 age group Components: 25 qualitative interviews Community-based survey of 200 mothers Retest survey with 50 quantitative survey participants UW: HPV Vaccination in the Cambodian Community
Cancer Prevention Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) funded Research Project Primary Goal To evaluate, in a group randomized control trial, the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of two lay health worker-delivered programs to increase vaccine uptake among Hispanic girls ages Recruiting 1,809 parents in 27 clinics in Houston Intervention components (targeting parents): Print fotonovelas A self directed, tailored interactive (TIV) program that runs on iPads; Now known as “For Our Daughters” Houston: HPV Vaccination in the Hispanic Community
CPRIT-funded Research Project to develop, deliver and determine the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of a Cancer Control Navigator program implemented within the Gulf Coast & Weslaco Help Line Programs Increase cervical cancer screening with the Pap test and the initiation and completion of the HPV vaccine series, thereby reducing or eliminating cervical cancer in Texas Form a statewide coalition of key partners (investigators, healthcare systems, cancer centers, providers, community groups, agencies, and policymakers) Implement educational interventions and activities in identified areas Increasing Breast, Cervical, and Colorectal Cancer Screening & HPV Vaccinations among Underserved Texans: A Collaboration with the Program Cervical Cancer Free America: GlaxoSmithKline
UCLA: Increasing HPV Vaccine Uptake in a Low Income Ethnic Minority Population NCI R , with Seattle site, based on CPCRN survey findings Collaboration with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LADPH), Office of Women's Health Primary goal: Randomized trial to test a theoretically driven intervention to increase HPV vaccine receipt among underserved, high risk girls in LA Will assess implementation outcomes (i.e., reach, etc) Intervention delivered by LADPH staff through their telephone hotline in English, Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean, Armenian. Targets caregivers of 9-18 yr old girls Brief telephone intervention and companion print materials Referral to a convenient clinic offering low cost/free vaccine Intervention designed to be feasible for delivery by a county health department, and integrated into their infrastructure. Will facilitate sustainability and dissemination. Can be adapted for other outcomes.
