This paper aims to describe the implementation and initial outcomes of the training provided. A 20-minute training on HPV vaccine bundled recommendations, motivational interviewing, and brief responses to patient concerns (Communicating about HPV vaccination to Adults and Teens; HPV CHAT) was implemented at seven safety-net clinics, two practice-based research network clinics, and nine county immunization clinics. We integrated training with clinical care teams; thus, we assessed immediate training outcomes across their different clinical roles compared to pre-training. In April-May 2022, HPV CHAT training was launched. One hundred eighty-seven people participated in the training and completed the pre-/postevaluation surveys.

At wellness visits, young patients (ages 12-17) completed a tablet-based assessment (Ask) of lifetime and current tobacco use. These data were made available within the electronic health record to pediatric primary care providers for preventive counseling (Advise).

Population use of tobacco products decreased following introduction of AAC (more than 2-fold). At the patient level, most children (80.9%) engaged with the intervention: those who were Black or African American, who never used tobacco products/were not susceptible to use, and who used fewer non-cigarette tobacco products were more likely to engage, but only after multiple prompts versus a single prompt.

Implementation science offers an array of frameworks and methodological approaches for assessing policy delivery, yet few examples exist that meaningfully include health equity as a core focus. This commentary describes the importance of equity-informed implementation measurement by providing case examples and implications for assessment. In addition, we highlight examples of emerging work in policy implementation grounded in health equity with suggested steps for moving the field forward.
