The PEER Study
Multilevel Peer-to-Peer Education Program to Increase HPV Vaccinations and Wellness in School-Based Health Centers

Our study will implement and evaluate PEER, a program to increase HPV vaccination through School-Based Health Centers. This five-year study is led by Principal Investigator Amanda Petrik, PhD. In our evaluation of the program, we will assess whether HPV vaccination rates increase. In addition, a team of qualitative researchers, led by Senior Research Associate Jennifer Schneider, MPH, hopes to learn about participants’ and providers’ satisfaction with the program.
