• Research summary

  AIMS: To develop an educational package with young people, that can be used within the adolescent schools-based vaccination programme, tailored to increase vaccine coverage in areas and populations with lower uptake.
  RESEARCH PLAN: Recruitment of study participants will take place through NHS healthcare organisations, and youth community groups and schools in areas where HPV vaccination coverage is low.
  In Stage One, we will review existing immunisation materials for young people. We will also talk to young people aged 12 to 15 years and other key stakeholders (e.g. NHS commissioners, immunisation nurses from Sirona Care and Health & Hounslow and Richmond Community Healthcare NHS Trust). Other healthcare professionals may also be identified as the study progresses.
  In Stage Two, creative designers from Eight media agency and young people (n=6) from Creative Youth Network will co-produce the content and materials (e.g. videos, power points) for the educational package. Immunisation nurses (from Sirona Care and Health & Hounslow and Richmond Community Healthcare NHS Trust) may be invited to take part in filming of the materials for educational package. Other healthcare professionals may also be identified as the study progresses.
  In Stage Three, we will test the educational package; focussing on how it can be delivered in schools and whether it is acceptable to young people and key stakeholders. We will invite schools (n=4) with lower coverage of the HPV vaccination programme in the South West of England and South London to take part. We will observe the delivery of the education package and carry out more interviews with young people and key stakeholders (including immunisation nurses from Sirona Care and Health & Hounslow and Richmond Community Healthcare NHS Trust). This will help us find out whether the educational session is delivered as intended, which parts work well, and which parts do not work well, and why.
