DescriptionHuman Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted disease worldwide with an estimated 14 million new cases each year (Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, 2019).

Purpose of Project: This study will examine the knowledge, perceptions, and beliefs parents of adolescent patients have regarding the Human Papillomavirus vaccine, and to give providers insight on the HPV vaccine educational needs and useful resources for Non-Hispanic black parents of adolescent patients.

Methodology: This study includes a pre- and post-education survey using a modified version of The Carolina HPV Immunization Attitudes and Beliefs Scale (CHIAS), and a 2 week follow up call to determine HPV vaccination intention. The Duration of the study was 6 weeks at a private family medicine practice in suburban New Jersey with 16 participants. Participants included parents of adolescent patients with a child aged 9 through 17 years who identify as Non-Hispanic black or African American excluding those English illiterate, and previous initiation or completion of the HPV vaccine series by their adolescent child.

Results: This study shows that despite formal education with multiple teaching modalities and culturally relative content, there is no significant change in knowledge acquisition, and although there was no significant change in parental knowledge following formal education, most parents of adolescent patients report the intent to vaccinate their adolescent child (76.9%).

Implications for Practice: This study provides medical practitioners with insight on the educational needs of African American parents of adolescent patients regarding the HPV vaccine and the need to promote informed decision making.
