Vaccine champions can be an important component of multilevel interventions. This paper describes the process of developing, delivering, and evaluating the vaccine champion intervention component as part of the HPV Multilevel Intervention Strategies Targeting Immunization in Community Settings (HPV MISTICS) study. Community health center leadership identified vaccine champions based on the following criteria: understanding clinical workflow, having an interest in quality improvement, and strong interpersonal and organizational skills. Development of the training materials included identifying learning objectives, developing a consistent training template, creating and refining session content and presentations, and obtaining feedback from the study's Community Advisory Board. The vaccine champion training included six 1-h live sessions delivered virtually. In addition to the availability of on-demand training session recordings, additional resources for champions included a study website, optional office hours with study team members, and a group channel to collaborate and connect with other champions. Evaluation of the training included pre- and post-session surveys (n = 5-8) and qualitative interviews (n = 4) after implementation of all components. Knowledge increased between the pre- and post-session surveys, indicating that champions understood the trainings. Evaluation of the specific champion tasks showed an increase in the champions' perception of their ability to successfully carry out the required tasks after completion of the training. During qualitative interviews, champions reported the training was comprehensive and helpful in remembering study-related tasks. The training and lessons learned presented in this study can be used to inform the development of trainings for champions in future intervention studies.
疫苗倡导者可以成为多层次干预措施的重要组成部分。本文描述了作为社区环境中针对免疫接种的HPV多层次干预策略（HPV MISTICS）研究的一部分，开发、实施和评估疫苗倡导者干预部分的过程。社区卫生中心领导层根据以下标准确定疫苗倡导者：了解临床工作流程、对质量改进有兴趣以及具备较强的人际和组织技能。培训材料的开发包括确定学习目标、制定一致的培训模板、创建和完善课程内容及演示文稿，以及从该研究的社区咨询委员会获取反馈。疫苗倡导者培训包括六个1小时的线上直播课程。除了提供按需培训课程录像外，为倡导者提供的其他资源还包括一个研究网站、与研究团队成员的可选办公时间，以及一个用于与其他倡导者协作和联系的群组渠道。培训评估包括在所有组件实施后进行的课前和课后调查（n = 5 - 8）以及定性访谈（n = 4）。课前和课后调查之间知识有所增加，表明倡导者理解了培训内容。对特定倡导者任务的评估显示，培训完成后，倡导者对自己成功执行所需任务能力的认知有所提高。在定性访谈中，倡导者报告称培训内容全面，有助于记住与研究相关的任务。本研究中展示的培训内容和经验教训可用于为未来干预研究中倡导者培训的开发提供参考。
