NCT06639386
Achieving optimal vaccination rates is vital for protecting the health and well-being of all individuals. This specific study focuses on the MMR and RSV vaccines in pregnancy and early childhood, which have been shown to reduce RSV and MMR-related illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths. Efforts to improve vaccination rates have not been equally effective across the entire population; this has resulted in poorer outcomes from interventions for certain populations who are vaccine-hesitant. This study seeks to understand how to best increase vaccine confidence in marginalized populations. To do this, the investigators will interview parents of children who receive care at Boston Medical Center (BMC), Community Health Workers and other Clinical providers at BMC, leading experts in the fields of vaccine confidence and implementation science, and key public health stakeholders/officials.
NCT06505993
The purpose of this community-engaged study is to test the ability of county-level strategies to increase uptake of COVID-19 vaccination. In this study the key objective is to test whether health communication strategies or health communication + county-specific structural/environmental support increases COVID-19 vaccine uptake and changes perceptions and beliefs about the vaccination at the county-level.
NCT07381088
This study aims to evaluate the effect of a structured education program delivered in primary health care settings on parents of children aged 0-2 years. The education focuses on childhood vaccination and related health perceptions. Parents will receive education covering childhood vaccines, vaccine hesitancy, evaluation of vaccine-related information obtained from digital sources, eco-anxiety, and perceived vulnerability to diseases. The study examines whether this education influences parents' levels of vaccine hesitancy, digital vaccine literacy, eco-anxiety, and perceived vulnerability to diseases. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of effective educational interventions in primary health care services to support informed parental decision-making regarding childhood vaccination.
NCT06156228
This study is significant as it targets a population that has exceptionally high rates of morbidity and mortality due to COVID-19, influenza, pneumococcal pneumonia and shingles; and who demonstrate significant mistrust towards the vaccines. It is innovative in that investigators will harness the research team's extensive experience in developing multi-level and tailored interventions working with community partners to increase adult vaccine uptake among Latinos. Through this project the investigators will develop the experience and infrastructure for a scalable community-academic model that can be deployed and adapted to other communities (especially those with prevalent vaccine resistance) and other emerging public health threats. There is great potential for short- and long-term public health/economic impact in increasing adult vaccine uptake among high risk populations such as Latinos. This work will contribute to the body of evidence for effective behavioral- and community-based strategies to improve the health of Latinos.
NCT06680414
This research will be carried out as a randomized controlled study with a waitlist in parallel design to evaluate the effect of Supportive Vaccine Communication using Motivational Interviewing on the level of vaccination literacy, vaccine knowledge, and vaccine decision thought. Research hypothesis "H0: Supportive Vaccine Communication using Motivational Interviewing does not affect vaccine decision processes (vaccine literacy, vaccine knowledge, and vaccine decision thought). At the end of the training, it is thought that the pregnant mothers in the experimental group will be different from the control group regarding vaccine literacy, vaccine knowledge, and vaccine decision-making thoughts included in the model.
NCT06186206
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of culturally tailored social media campaigns and WhatsApp-based vaccine training for healthcare workers in increasing childhood routine and HPV vaccine confidence and uptake in mainly indigenous rural communities in Guatemala. Main Research Questions: * Does a culturally tailored social media campaign, deployed via Facebook and geographically targeting randomly assigned communities, increase childhood routine and HPV vaccine confidence and uptake in mainly indigenous rural communities in Guatemala? * Does WhatsApp-based vaccine training for community healthcare workers increase vaccine uptake in these communities? Participants in this study will be involved in the following tasks: Community Healthcare Worker WhatsApp Training: Community healthcare workers will participate in WhatsApp training sessions to enhance their knowledge and skills related to vaccine education and communication. Pre-Post Surveys: Surveys will be collected from individuals who are caretakers of children under 5 recruited from local health facilities. A total of 600 people will participate in the surveys (200 from each study arm and 200 pre-intervention). Surveys will be conducted in Spanish, K'iche', and Kaqchikel languages to compare vaccination uptake, hesitancy, and barriers/facilitators of vaccination. Researchers will compare the groups receiving the social media campaign and WhatsApp training to those with no intervention to determine the effects on childhood routine and HPV vaccine confidence and uptake in indigenous rural communities in Guatemala.
NCT05531058
Vaccine hesitancy is defined as 'delay in acceptance or refusal of vaccines, despite the availability of vaccine service' and was named one of the top ten global health threats by the World Health Organization in 2019. Our proposed study will aim to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a Web-based psychoeducation programme to address Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy, 'AI-driven Vaccine Communicator' (including educational materials, animations of vaccine research and development, and an MI communication skills-based AI, digital assistant). Our goal is to standardise our intervention so that it can serve as an effective toolkit for clinicians/healthcare providers to increase Hong Kong residents' motivation to vaccinate and to ensure that the programme can be adapted to viral mutations and newly developed vaccines in the medium/long term.
NCT06075732
This multilevel, multidisciplinary, theoretically based, culturally sensitive, community-engaged intervention sets out to mitigate uptake barriers and non-adherence to vaccination schedules as recommended by the CDC and increase influenza, meningitis, pneumonia, VZV, and COVID-19 vaccine rates among under-resourced African American and Latino public housing residents in South Los Angeles.
NCT05998824
The goal of this clinical trial is to test an COVID-19 vaccination information video in adults with sickle cell disease. The main questions it aims to answer are why are some adults with sickle cell disease hesitant to receive COVID-19 vaccination and whether a COVID-19 vaccination information video tailored for people with sickle cell disease will reduce vaccine hesitancy. Participants will complete a brief survey before and after watching a short video with information on vaccine safety, efficacy, and the greater impact of COVID-19 infection on people with sickle cell disease.
NCT05212974
The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation of intention to receive COVID-19 vaccine, recommendation behavior, and 5C psychological antecedents among Nurses. The results can be used to assist suggestions in the health education provided by nurses on the topic of COVID-19 pneumonia and its vaccination. The purpose of the study is also wants to build a basis for future research and public support in vaccine decision-making, as well as to enhance the promotion of vaccine policy and enhance the resilience of the whole population during the pandemic ear.
NCT06237374
This study seeks to understand how to support community health workers (CHWs) to improve routine vaccination rates in high-need areas by testing a two-part intervention. The first part of the intervention is a digital training provided to CHWs, which includes videos and job aids on vaccine education to support patient communication. The second part of the intervention is a patient-facing chatbot that CHWs can share with their patients. The chatbot is designed to answer patient questions about routine immunization. The intervention will be implemented in two sub-counties in Migori County Kenya (Awendo and Nyatike) that Lwala Community Health Alliance has identified as high need with respect to vaccine education. We hypothesize that the intervention will increase knowledge about routine immunization among CHWs and patients, increase vaccine acceptance, intent-to-vaccinate, and vaccination rates among patients in the treatment group.
NCT05994820
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn compare the efficacy Chatbot messaging directed to parents of infants and children living in unstable urban housing (UUH) in Varansi, India. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1) Can a Chatbot intervention be used to improve attitudes towards childhood vaccines? 2) Does an intervention in which vaccination is presented in the larger context of well-being improve attitudes towards vaccination?
NCT06155877
Vaccines currently prevent several million deaths every year and more lives could be saved if vaccination take up increased. The World Health Organization identifies vaccine hesitancy as one of the ten most important threats to global health and emphasizes the importance of devising interventions to reduce vaccine hesitancy. The two most promising interventions rely on consensus messaging, which has robust but small effects, and interactive discussion, which has larger effects, but is difficult to scale up. School-based interventions aimed at adolescents have the potential to make the best of both types of interventions. Interventions that take place in schools can be conducted over longer periods of time (up to several hours) and are rolled out by a figure that is typically trusted and respected (the teacher). Moreover, intervening during adolescence is particularly timely since important vaccines are delivered at that age (most notably the human papillomavirus vaccine), and because attitudes towards vaccination during adolescence might have a long-lasting impact, as is the case for other health related attitudes. This study tests the effectiveness of two interventions, a pedagogical intervention based on consensus messaging, and a chatbot intervention designed to mimic interactive discussion, on 9th grade French pupils.
NCT05537714
In the proposed study, the investigators will conduct qualitative interviews and focus groups with Black, Hispanic, and medically underserved communities, living in the rural south and will provide a quantitative survey (mixed methods) to identify reasons for vaccine hesitancy, including any structural barriers experienced by this population. The investigators will assess what vaccination messaging was received by trusted individuals and how this messaging may have impacted vaccination behavior. This mixed methods study design will allow for a comprehensive picture of vaccine equity and hesitancy for this population. The quantitative survey provides a focused and concrete uncovering of the issues and relationships and the qualitative design allows for a detailed, contextualized insight into lived experiences. Coupled together, this mixed methods design will provide a rich depiction of the underlying drivers of vaccine hesitancy, structural barriers to vaccination, and messaging that impacted uptake for medically underserved and rural populations.
