We are conducting interviews with medical practitioners who provide adolescent immunizations to understand practices and opinions regarding HPV vaccination. Confidential interviews will be conducted by telephone at your convenience, and take approximately 15 minutes to complete. The information that you provide will be used directly to develop quality improvement projects and interventions to increase HPV vaccine series uptake and completion in Connecticut.

We will be contacting practices throughout Connecticut in the coming months to invite practitioners to participate in this project, and we hope you will collaborate with us in this effort. If you are interested in participating, or have any questions regarding this project, please email the Project Coordinator at Yale School of Public Health at  anna.north@yale.eduor call (203) 785-6021.
