Filter by:The goal of this cross-sectional study is to study dengue vaccine hesitancy among 390 international travelers who visit the Hospital for Tropical Diseases, Bangkok, and three public sites which are the area near the Grand Palace, Khaosan Road, and the snake farm at Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute. The main question it aims to answer is what are the factors associated with the dengue vaccine hesitancy among non-endemic international travelers visiting Thailand. Participants will do the questionnaire consists of three parts 1. Questionnaire to estimate vaccine hesitancy on each 5 domains. 2. Knowledge about dengue infection and vaccination 3. Demographics data of the participants The study prioritizes ethical considerations, confidentiality, and data management to ensure participant welfare and data security.
Dime La VerDAD is an innovative social media capacity-building program that empowers promotores de salud to debunk vaccine misinformation through the use of personal narratives on social media. The core of the implementation strategy consists of augmenting training and self-efficacy for natural community champions, "promotores de salud" from the Hispanic community as trusted messengers to debunk vaccination misinformation. Our study will leverage existing community relationships in Chicago and a first of its kind misinformation curriculum to debunk misinformation in communities served by participating promotores de salud. Dime La VerDAD (Verify, Debunk, and Disseminate) is an innovative social media capacity-building program based on theoretical frameworks related to health communication that empowers promotores de salud to debunk vaccine misinformation through the use of personal narratives on social media. This mixed methods study will use a rigorous stepped wedge design to 1) deliver a scalable program of science communicators using an adapted curriculum grounded in infodemiology, 2) evaluate how debunking misinformation is perceived on social media, and 3) discern how use of personal narratives to enhance science communication can lead to changes in opinions and behavior (vaccination rates) about COVID and influenza vaccines among Chicago's predominantly Hispanic communities.
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.
Pilot randomized controlled trial testing the investigator's previously developed storytelling method to create an interactive, multi-media storytelling intervention to address community-identified reasons for vaccine hesitancy among Black and Hispanic individuals in Central Massachusetts
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.
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.
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.
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.
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to determine feasibility and explore whether financial incentives paid to primary care patients for completing colorectal cancer screening increase completion of colorectal cancer screening. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do patient financial incentives for completing colorectal cancer screening increase screening completion? - Does a patient financial incentive for colorectal cancer screening offered alongside patient financial incentives for COVID-19 and flu shots increase completion of those shots? Participants who are due for colorectal cancer screening will receive telephone outreach from primary care staff who will offer a stool-based colorectal cancer screening. Participants will be randomly assigned to either Group 1 or Group 2. Group 1 participants will be offered financial incentives for completing COVID-19 and flu shots within 2 months of enrollment. Group 2 participants will be offered financial incentives for completing a COVID-19 shot, a flu shot, and colorectal cancer screening within 2 months of enrollment. Researchers will compare to see if completion of a COVID-19 shot, a flu shot, and colorectal cancer screening is different between the two groups.
