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.
Asian American (AA) females are disproportionately affected by cervical cancer. Among AA subgroups, Korean American (KA) females had higher risks of developing cervical cancer and rates of cervical cancer mortality compared to white females (11.9, 7.1 per 100,000, respectively). Despite that HPV vaccines have shown to be efficacious in preventing cancers and are recommended for routine vaccinations for youth at age 11 or 12 years, AA females aged 9-17 years have significantly lower HPV vaccine initiation (12.4% vs 27.2%) and completion (1.9% vs 10.3%) rates compared with all other race/ethnicities combined. Using culturally grounded narratives/stories incorporating culture-specific beliefs and practices for health behavior change is effective to mitigate health disparities, specifically for Asian Americans. Storytelling, a specific form of cultural narrative, is showing promise as an effective method of facilitating healthy behaviors through promoting a sense of identification with stories and characters, and transportation (i.e., emotional engagement) as defined in the Model of Narrative as Culture-Centric Health Promotion. We propose to use a digital storytelling approach to gather in-person stories from KA immigrant mothers about HPV vaccination of their children for our intervention.
The success of vaccination programs often depends on the effectiveness of the vaccine messages, particularly during emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The current suboptimal uptake of COVID-19 vaccines across many parts of the world highlights the tremendous challenges in overcoming vaccine hesitancy and refusal even in the context of a world-devastating pandemic. The investigators conducted a randomized controlled trial in Hong Kong to evaluate the impact of seven vaccine messages on COVID-19 vaccine uptake (with the government slogan as the control). The participants included 127,000 individuals who googled COVID-19-related information during July-October 2021.
Each year in France, more than 6000 new cases of HPV inducted cancers are recorded. The vaccinal cover stays insufficient since less than 30% of the french population is vaccinated. Therefore french studies about vaccine efficacy and especially about the catch-up vaccine (done after 15years old) are needed. HPVAC2 is a prospective, analytic and monocentric study designed to learn the impact of the catch-up HPV vaccination. Women from 25 years old and born after 1984 may be included if they come to the Brest CHU to do their regular cervical smear. At this time, a survey will be given to know their vaccinal status. The aim of the study is to prove the efficacy of the catch up vaccination by analyzing the cervical smears results and by comparing the vaccinated group with the not-vaccinated group.
This is a randomized, active-controlled, dose-escalation multi-center study of 2 doses (Day 1 and Week 8) of an investigational herpes zoster (HZ) vaccine (Z-1018), combining herpes zoster antigen- (gE) with a Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) agonist adjuvant (CpG 1018) with and without alum in approximately 150 healthy volunteers 50 to 69 years of age (inclusive).
This is a phase 2,prospective double-blind, randomized, parallel-group study with the aim to demonstrate non-inferiority, in terms of immunogenicity, between the wet formulation and a newly developed partially dried formulation of selected components of ETVAX.
This study will measure the levels of nasal mucosal Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and blood serum IgA up to one year after COVID vaccination, as well as examining what factors might affect antibody levels in the nose. This will be done through nasal epithelial lining fluid collection and standard venipuncture.
Our objective is to determine the effectiveness of varied outreach methods to children age 12-17 years old who are due for a well child check visit and don't have one scheduled in the next 45 days on the outcomes of appointment scheduling, appointment completion, and receipt of the COVID-19 vaccination.
Our objective is to determine the effectiveness of varied outreach methods (e.g. automated reminder calls/text messages with or without personalized calls/texts) to children age 12-14 months or 4 years old who are due for a WCC visit and don't have one scheduled in the next 45 days on the outcomes of appointment scheduling, appointment completion, and receipt of the MMR vaccination.
