Brief description of trial (Data source: BASEC)
Eine Infektion mit HPV kann zur Entstehung von Krebs führen. In der Schweiz empfiehlt das BAG daher eine Impfung gegen HPV, welche bisher vor allem von Kinderärzten*innen und Frauenärzten*innen durchgeführt wird. Die Impfquote in der Schweiz ist jedoch unter der vom BAG empfohlenen Marke von 80%. Bisherige Studien haben gezeigt, dass besonders in der Hausarztmedizin grosses Potential besteht zu einer Verbesserung der nationalen Impfquote beizutragen. Ziel dieser Studie ist es daher zu prüfen, ob eine gezielte, vielschichtige Fortbildung für Hausärzte*innen zu einer Erhöhung der Impfquote führt.
Health conditions investigated(Data source: BASEC)
Primärprävention einer Infektion mit humanen Papillomaviren (HPV).
Health conditions
(Data source: WHO)

Intervention investigated (e.g. drug, therapy or campaign)
(Data source: BASEC)
In dieser Studie wird geprüft, ob eine gezielte, vielschichtige Fortbildung für Hausärzte*innen zu einer Erhöhung der Impfquote führt. Diese Fortbildung enthält detaillierte Informationen über 1) HPV und HPV Impfungen, 2) Informationen wie Impfungen am besten mit Patienten*innen kommuniziert werden können, 3) allgemeine Informationen zu administrativen und logistischen Punkten im Kontext der HPV Impfung.
Ärzte*innen in der Kontrollgruppe bekommen eine Fortbildung über Impfungen im Allgemeinen. Da diese Fortbildung das Impfverhalten der Ärzte*innen in der Kontrollgruppe auch beeinflussen kann, erhalten auch die Ärzte*innen in der Interventionsgruppe diese Fortbildung. Ärzte*innen in der Kontrollgruppe kennen den wahren Zweck der Studie nicht.
Interventions
(Data source: WHO)
Study physicians will be randomized into two groups (control and intervention). A statistician not involved in the study performs the randomization. They will use stratified randomization.
1. GPs who are not already a member of the cantonal vaccination programs are randomized after stratification
2. GP practice level. If more than one GP from the same practice participates in the study, the researchers will allocate them to the same group
3. Number of performed HPVv during the baseline period
Both groups receive a general study instruction, which consists of basic information about the order of the study, study conduct and reporting. Both groups will receive a basic educational session about vaccination.
Control group:
All GPs in the control group will receive a basic educational session about vaccination and the current national vaccination recommendations. The session will include all basic information about HPV and HPV vaccination to ensure that all GPs know how to provide vaccinations according to the current recommendations.
Intervention group:
In addition to the basic educational session about vaccinations, GPs in the intervention group will receive an intervention consisting of three parts:
1. Detailed information about HPV and HPVv
2. Information about the announcement communication method in delivering vaccinations
3. Information about logistics and administrative issues regarding the HPVv
Duration of the intervention: about 3-4 hours of training.
Follow-up. There is no specific follow up of patients in this study

Primary end point
(Data source: WHO)
Overall number of HPVv given in the first 6 months, reported in a specific case report form (CRF) at month 6
Secundary end point
(Data source: WHO)
Current secondary outcome measures as of 13/02/2023:
1. HPVv uptake (1st dose [with exception of baseline period and month 6] and overall vaccination doses) in the intervention group and control group, reported in a specific case report form (CRF) during the baseline period and at 3, 6, and 12 months
2. The change in HPVv uptake (overall vaccination doses) reported in a specific case report form (CRF) from baseline to defined time points (3, 6 and 12 months) between the intervention group and control group
3. The change in HPV and HPVv knowledge and attitudes (at GP level) measured using a questionnaire at baseline and month 6
4. Basic demographic data of HPV vaccinated patients (gender and age), provided by GPs in the CRF after 6 and 12 months
5. HPVv first vaccination or booster vaccination, request of patient or recommendation by GP (or both), and HPVv given alone or in combination with other vaccines, provided by GPs in the CRF after 6 and 12 months
