The Geographic Health Equity Alliance, Nuestras Voces Network and Selfmade Health Network are excited to announce the inaugural 2020 Tri-Networks HPV Vaccination Learning Collaborative for Comprehensive Cancer Control (CCC) programs and partners. The collaborative is designed to help build the capacity of state CCC programs to improve HPV vaccination rates among populations with low SES characteristics (low-SES), Hispanics and geographically disparate communities. The learning collaborative will highlight best and promising practices from the field for improving HPV vaccination rates in the areas of programs, policy and communications.

The collaborative is a 12-15-month commitment that will include up to four virtual learning sessions and two, 30-minute office hour sessions for each state. Up to 10 state CCC programs will be selected for participation in the collaborative. CCC programs selected will have an opportunity to identify two designees to participate in the collaborative.
