Refine and finalize a parent, primary care team and clinic ML intervention to increase uptake and completion of the HPV vaccine series among adolescent patients of the UCDH CP practices. In Phase 1, semi-structured qualitative interviews with key stakeholders will be conducted to refine the content and implementation approaches. Aim 2.

Interventions
- BehavioralIntervention Arm
Within the intervention clinics, parents of patients between the ages of 10-12 (who are eligible for the HPV vaccine) will receive a culturally tailored customized HPV vaccine message and testimonial video from a patient/survivor of an HPV associated cancer (e.g., oropharyngeal, or cervical) via the MyChart patient portal. Parents will also receive a personal call from the research coordinator to remind them that their child is due for the HPV vaccine. If the parent is interested in scheduling the HPV vaccine appointment during this call, the research coordinator will transfer the parent to UC Davis appointment call center to schedule the appointment. Also, primary care team members will receive a semi-annual learn at lunch workshop focused on strategies to introduce the HPV vaccine to parents and how to address concerns from vaccine hesitant parents. Workshop content will be tailored/adapted to include patient/parent cultural considerations.
