Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the need for targeted strategies to increase HPV vaccination rates among adolescents in high-risk communities served by safety-net clinics, highlighting the importance of community involvement in selecting relevant approaches.
- A modified concept mapping activity was conducted with community and clinic partners to sort and rate 38 evidence-based strategies (EBS) related to HPV vaccination, resulting in participants identifying eight key clusters for potential intervention.
- The findings led the federally qualified health center (FQHC) to select specific EBS, focusing on reducing missed opportunities and improving staff workflow, to implement over the course of a year.

Reaching FEWs with health education and linking them to services has been difficult because of their hidden and stigmatized status.
Objective: This study evaluated the efficacy of the Mobile Link intervention in improving FEWs' health by engaging and connecting them to existing HIV, sexual and reproductive health, and GBV services.
