Study Title
Factors Associated with Adolescent HPV Vaccine Uptake in Safety-Net Clinics
Study Group
Retrospective medical record review of a random sample of 353 female patients, ages 11-18
Summary
HPV vaccine delivery is suboptimal. Patient-directed reminders to address delivery of second and third HPV vaccine doses are urgently needed.

Study Title
Adolescent Immunication Delivery in School-based Health Centers: a National Survey
Study Group
National Survey of Adolescents targeted group for newer (Tdap, MCV4, HPV) and long-standing (influenza, varicella) vaccines
Reminder Type
Phone, mail, school
Summary
Methods to improve immunization delivery:
- Many sites used immunization information systems
- Most conducted some form of reminder/recall
- Most also assessed UTD rates

Study Title
Text4Health: A Qualitative Evaluation of Parental Readiness for Text Message Immunization Reminders
Study Group
Focus groups and individual interviews in a diverse population of parents
Reminder Type
SMS/Text Message
Summary
Text message reminders were well-accepted by parents; many thought they would be more effective than standard phone or mail reminders. Parents preferred text message reminders to be brief and personalized.
