Abstract
The HPV vaccination series is a safe and efficacious public health tool for prevention of cervical, anal, vulvar, vaginal, penile, and oropharyngeal cancers, yet rates of HPV vaccination in rural Vermont lag behind those of the greater state. This community health improvement project involves distribution of an HPV vaccine informational handout to male and female patients between the ages of 18 and 26 years. The primary objective of this work being to increase awareness of the safety, efficacy and availability of the HPV vaccination series for individuals over the age of 18. This project seeks to empower patients to engage in conversations with providers regarding their healthcare preferences with the ultimate goal of enhancing patient-centered decision making and promoting better health outcomes.
