School Located Adolescent Vaccination Study - Full Text View

Purpose

The provision of adolescent vaccination in a school setting will be feasible and acceptable to parents as evidenced by the number and percentage of students immunized within each school compared to those in schools without a program. The likelihood of vaccination for diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (Tdap), human papillomavirus (HPV), and meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4) and all three combined) among eligible students enrolled in schools with a comprehensive school-based immunization program will be significantly higher than that of students enrolled in schools without a school-based immunization program.

Primary Outcome Measures:

The likelihood of vaccination among eligible 6th grade students with one or more needed vaccines in intervention schools compared to control schools. [ Time Frame: end of the school year 2010 - 2011 compared to beginning of school year 2010 - 2011 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
The vaccination status of eligible students enrolled at participating schools will be assessed at the beginning of the school year and at the end of the school year using immunization data from the school, the state registry, community vaccinator registry, and parent records. The assessment will occur in both intervention and control settings.
The likelihood of vaccination among eligible 6th grade students with Tdap vaccine in intervention schools compared to control schools. [ Time Frame: end of the school year 2010 - 2011 compared to beginning of school year 2010 - 2011 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
The Tdap vaccination status of eligible students enrolled at participating schools will be assessed at the beginning of the school year and at the end of the school year using immunization data from the school, the state registry, community vaccinator registry, and parent records. The assessment will occur in both intervention and control settings.
The likelihood of vaccination among eligible 6th grade students with MCV4 vaccine in intervention schools compared to control schools. [ Time Frame: end of the school year 2010 - 2011 compared to beginning of school year 2010 - 2011 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
The MCV4 vaccination status of eligible students enrolled at participating schools will be assessed at the beginning of the school year and at the end of the school year using immunization data from the school, the state registry, community vaccinator registry, and parent records. The assessment will occur in both intervention and control settings.
The likelihood of vaccination among eligible 6th grade female students with HPV vaccine in intervention schools compared to control schools. [ Time Frame: end of the school year 2010 - 2011 compared to beginning of school year 2010 - 2011 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
The HPV vaccination status of eligible female students enrolled at participating schools will be assessed at the beginning of the school year and at the end of the school year using immunization data from the school, the state registry, community vaccinator registry, and parent records. The assessment will occur in both intervention and control settings.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

The likelihood of vaccination with Tdap vaccine among eligible 7th and 8th grade students enrolled at intervention schools compared to control schools. [ Time Frame: end of the school year 2010 - 2011 compared to beginning of school year 2010 - 2011 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
The Tdap vaccination status of students enrolled at participating schools will be assessed at the beginning of the school year and at the end of the school year using immunization data from the school, the state registry, community vaccinator registry, and parent records. The assessment will occur in both intervention and control settings.
The likelihood of vaccination with one or more HPV vaccines among eligible 7th and 8th grade female students enrolled in intervention schools compared to control schools. [ Time Frame: end of the school year 2010 - 2011 compared to beginning of school year 2010 - 2011 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
The HPV vaccination status of eligible female students enrolled at participating schools will be assessed at the beginning of the school year and at the end of the school year using immunization data from the school, the state registry, community vaccinator registry, and parent records. The assessment will occur in both intervention and control settings.
The likelihood of MCV4 vaccination among eligible 7th and 8th students enrolled in intervention schools compared to control schools. [ Time Frame: end of the school year 2010 - 2011 compared to beginning of school year 2010 - 2011 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
The MCV4 vaccination status of eligible 7th and 8th grade students enrolled at participating schools will be assessed at the beginning of the school year and at the end of the school year using immunization data from the school, the state registry, community vaccinator registry, and parent records. The assessment will occur in both intervention and control settings.
The likelihood of HPV vaccine series completion among female students in intervention schools compared to control schools. [ Time Frame: end of the school year 2010 - 2011 compared to beginning of school year 2010 - 2011 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
The HPV vaccine status of female students enrolled at participating schools will be assessed at the beginning of the school year and at the end of the school year using immunization data from the school, the state registry, community vaccinator registry, and parent records. The assessment will occur in both intervention and control settings.

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: School Located Vaccine (SLV) Program A vaccine program carried out by a community vaccinator will be conducted in a limited number of participating schools. The program will be open to the students enrolled at the participating schools	Behavioral: School Located Vaccine (SLV) Program A community vaccinator will administer vaccines to students whose parents consent for their child to participate
No Intervention: no School Located Vaccine (SLV) Program Schools that are part of the non-intervention arm of the study will not have a school-located vaccine program.
