A. Background
The HPV Vaccine Acceleration Program Partners Initiative (HAPPI) Consortium, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is a 3-year project designed to accelerate HPV vaccination in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Vaccination against HPV is recommended for adolescent young women prior to sexual debut to reduce cervical cancer related mortality and morbidity. It is critical to understand the barriers to accessing and accepting HPV vaccination among adolescent girls and their caregivers so that implementers can develop more effective interventions that address these barriers and increase to uptake in population groups less likely to receive the HPV vaccine. This activity will examine barriers and potential solutions to those gender-related HPV vaccination barriers at the individual, household, community, and health systems levels in Indonesia and Nigeria. The HCD approach will be used to put the adolescents and stakeholders at the center of the problem-solving by engaging them in a collaborative process to understand, think about, create, test, and implement solutions together for impactful and sustainable positive change.
B. Objectives
The primary objective is to better understand the gender-related related barriers to HPV immunization delivery and uptake and identify potential solutions to those barriers among adolescent young women, caregivers, and vaccine program stakeholders. This study will be conducted in Nigeria and Indonesia.
C. Activities
Two individual consultants/ one firm will complete the following activities:
· Support the IRB submission process of this protocol in Indonesia.
· Prepare for, convene and facilitate four workshops with adolescent girls (ages 10-14), and young women (ages 15-18) (AGYW collectively) and their caregivers to explore gender-related barriers confronted throughout the process of seeking and receiving an HPV vaccination.
o Use persona and journey mapping tools with adolescent girls and their caregivers during the workshop to collect data on enablers and barriers to HPV vaccination.
o Facilitate small group ideation exercises to propose, prototype, and test solutions to overcome barriers.
· Prepare for, convene, and facilitate a dissemination and refinement workshop with immunization stakeholders (e.g., district / regional Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) officers, Ministry of Health (MoH) personnel, Ministry of Education personnel, and Ministry of Gender personnel) to review low-fidelity intervention prototypes generated during co-design sessions with adolescent girls and young women.
