CONTEXT: Local health departments (LHDs) play a vital role in community vaccination programs for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, but little research has been done to assess LHD interest in cross-sectoral partnerships to vaccinate high-risk groups, specifically incarcerated persons. OBJECTIVE: To describe factors associated with interest in a novel implementation strategy linking LHDs with jails in 4 Midwestern states to deliver HPV vaccine. DESIGN: Survey based on the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) model given to LHD administrators. A modified Poisson relative risk regression was used to assess the relationship between independent variables and LHD interest in implementation of a jail-based HPV vaccination program. SETTING: LHDs in Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, and Nebraska. PARTICIPANTS: From September 2017 to April 2018, two-thirds (237/344) of invited LHD administrators from the 4 states responded to the survey. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: LHD interest in implementation of a jail-based HPV vaccination program. RESULTS: Forty-five percent of LHDs were interested in learning more about implementing a jail-based HPV vaccination program, and 2% already offered or had plans to offer HPV vaccine in their jails. Barriers to implementation were cost (66%), inmates' short incarcerations (47%), and availability of medical staffing (43%). LHD characteristics associated with interest in implementation of a jail-based HPV vaccination program included "inner setting" CFIR variables, which capture the structural and cultural context for program implementation: 7 or more employees (odds ratio [OR] = 2.22; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.24-3.95), perception of importance to provide HPV vaccine in jails (OR = 3.70; 95% CI, 2.00-6.84), and already providing any vaccines in jails (OR = 2.62; 95% CI, 1.18-5.80). CONCLUSIONS: Nearly half of LHDs in the region expressed interest in partnering with local entities to meet HPV vaccination needs of high-risk groups. Research on cross-sectoral partnerships and what these collaborations look like in practice is needed for public health impact.
