Continuing a Legacy of Healthcare Research
The Northern New England CO-OP Practice and Community Based Research Network (NNE CO-OP PCBRN) is sponsored by the Department of Community & Family Medicine at Dartmouth Health and Geisel School of Medicine in collaboration with the University of Vermont and Maine Health. As a voluntary, cooperative network of primary care clinicians, the CO-OP provides opportunities for members to develop new research skills and conduct studies in partnership with their patients, academic researchers, and the communities they serve. As the oldest continuously operating PBRN in the country, we’re proud to continue our rich history of improving patient outcomes, instilling a focus of patient values, and developing methods that work in busy community-practice settings across the region.
Expanded Age Range for the HPV Vaccine and Shared-Decision Making
The HPV Vaccine Age Range was recently expanded to include adult patients from 24-45 years of age. However, this new change comes with several questions that our clinicians are now researching such as the effect of insurance coverage and the impact on shared decision-making policies of the expanded age group. Maureen Boardman was recently awarded funding to study the effects seen by the expansion of HPV vaccination criteria within health centers in New Hampshire and Vermont.

COVID-19 Vaccination & Booster Hesitancy
With the Global Pandemic of COVID-19 came an international effort among scientists to come up with an effective vaccine that could fight off the COVID-19 virus. The pressing urgency has caused a speed up in the FDA approval process of now three COVID-19 vaccines. Some people are questioning the effectiveness and potential long-term side effects of the COVID-19 vaccines and have declined to get them or at the very least are hesitant. Clinicians want to understand why patients are hesitating to get vaccinated for COVID-19.
