Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the provider- and practice-level characteristics that influence the impact of implementation strategies guided by practice facilitation in each clinical practice, to test whether the facilitator-driven provider- and practice-level implementation strategies increase provider recommendations and Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccination rates and to evaluate implementation and future sustainability of the facilitator-driven implementation strategies across nine clinical practice sites
Interventions
The practice facilitator (UTHealth research staff) will implement the following 4 strategies with providers and immunization navigators at each practice: * Facilitator-driven provider education: The practice facilitator will conduct one provider education module (5 total modules) over three months with health care providers using a booklet and resource binder. * Facilitator-driven clinical practice plan: The practice facilitator will assist the implementation team in creating their clinical practice in two additional modules and encourage providers to identify strategies to increase HPV vaccination. * Training and education for staff (Immunization Navigators): The facilitator will train immunization navigators to implement the plan, and practice immunization navigators will implement the plan. * Technical assistance plus assessment and feedback: During implementation of the plan, the facilitator will provide technical assistance, ongoing assessment and feedback, and booster trainings.

Intervention model description
This is a stepwise cluster randomized control design study. There will be 3 clusters (FQHC's) having 3 practices each
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* FQHC's with less than 60% HPV vaccine initiation rate for 11-12 year old adolescents overall at their practice sites * FQHC's that have family medicine and/or pediatric practices * a total adolescent patient population at least 50% Latino * be willing for Health Care Provider (HCP) and staff members to receive education, training, and support; complete standardized measurement, and agree to randomization. * Providers, aged 18 and over, employed at each FQHC (4 staff per practice) * Staff, aged 18 and over, employed at each FQHC (5 staff per practice) * Implementation team members (i.e., administrative designee, health care providers, immunization navigators, and other staff), aged 18 and over, employed at each FQHC (4 members per practice) * Parents (aged 18 and over) of patients ages 11-17 seeking care at each FQHC (25 per practice).
Exclusion criteria
