Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate an empirical relationship between community- engagement practices, and between patient-centric clinical trial design, execution and communication practices, and vaccine adoption experience. Our hypothesis is that patient-centric clinical trial activity, and community engagement in late-stage clinical trials and early-stage commercialization, reduces vaccine hesitancy and increases vaccine confidence among health care providers overall and within diverse patient communities and ultimately drives faster vaccine adoption.
This study will serve as one of the first to develop and test the effectiveness of strategies to promote HPV vaccination among diverse rural parents and caregivers of children ages 9-17 years in the Mountain West. Once implemented into practice, our intervention could significantly reduce disparities in the burden of HPV-associated cancers among rural populations in the United States. The proposed study will assess the effectiveness of clinic-based outreach to increase vaccination rates for HPV at four community clinics in rural counties in Washington. The proposed study includes the following: (1) boot camp translation to tailor messaging based on patient and provider input; (2) PREVENT randomized controlled trial (RCT) that will assign adult parent/caregiver participants to a timeline for receiving intervention; and (3) qualitative interviews with parents/caregivers, providers, and other healthcare team members and development of best practices, implementation guides and dissemination of findings for other clinics to implement the program on a broader scale. At the end of the trial, personal interviews with parents/caregivers, clinical staff, and providers will be conducted to understand reactions to the program and persistent barriers to initiating and completing HPV vaccination.
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.
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.
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.
The goal of this clinical trial is to lessen the pain and fear of needles by using a mindfulness-based app and a recovery patch on pediatric patients between the ages of 5 and 11. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can guided mindfulness practices lessen the fear of needles experienced among pediatric patients? - Can a recovery patch with natural ingredients lessen the pain derived from needle-based procedures when placed on the site of the needle wound? Participants will be asked to be part of a clinical trial in which they will be picked to be in one of four groups: control (no use of the patch or app), use of Thimble Mindfulness App only (Experimental- App), use of Thimble Recovery Patch only (Experimental-Patch), or use of both Thimble Mindfulness App and Recovery Patch (Experimental-Patch and App). Patients will be asked to: - Complete a survey at enrollment (demographics + State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAI-C)) - If the experimental group with the app, they will use the app before, during, and after their needle-based procedure. - Complete another survey immediately before needle procedure (STAI-C survey) - If in experimental group with the patch, they will allow the doctor or nurse to apply the Recovery Patch on the site of the needle wound. - Complete a survey immediately after needle procedure (STAI-C survey) and app/patch feedback (if assigned to app and/or patch group) - Complete another survey 24-48 hours after needle procedure (STAI-C survey) and app/patch feedback (if assigned to app and/or patch group) Researchers will compare the 4 groups to see if these interventions (alone or together) improve anxiety and pain associated with needle-based procedures within the pediatric population.
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.
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.
This experimental study aims to investigate the effect of different types of educational interventions on overcoming Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine hesitancy among the Higher School of Economics (HSE) bachelor students in Russia.
