Filter by:As Canada records over 1,400,000 COVID-19 infections and 26,000 deaths, the need to stop the spread of the virus has become increasingly critical. Although younger individuals (aged 20-39) have lower hospitalisation and death rates than older adults, they have high rates of infection and may be less willing to accept a vaccine because they consider the disease to be less dangerous for themselves. It is of concern that around 30% of Canadians, especially younger adults, will not be willing to accept a COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccination will be the best method to control the pandemic in the future and protect those at higher risk of hospitalisation and death (e.g., elderly, those with chronic diseases). Therefore, achieving high rates of vaccination coverage among younger adults is very important in the long run to protect not only themselves but also others. For the experimental condition, the investigators will develop a brief video that will promote the vaccine's protection of others (altruism). For the control condition, the investigators will create an informational text on COVID-19 preventative health measures based on recommendations from the Public Health Agency of Canada. 2630 younger adults (aged 20 to 39) who have not yet received a dose of a COVID-19 vaccine will be recruited. To match Canadian demographics, participants will be recruited using the following quotas to reflect census data from Statistics Canada: 50% male and 50% female; 80% Anglophone and 20% Francophone; 80% urban and 20% rural; and 50% household income level less than $75,000 and 50% household income greater than $75,000. Half of the participants will be randomly assigned to watch the video, with the other half reading the text. In both groups, participants will complete a short online survey before and after viewing the video or reading the text. The goal is to assess the efficacy of the video on increasing younger adults' willingness to get a COVID-19 vaccine. The research team is partnering in this study with key agencies, e.g., Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI), and the Institut National de Santé Publique du Québec (INSPQ) to help communicate the research findings to the general population.
This project is a 2-year study to investigate vaccine hesitancy and vaccine completion among vulnerable communities in the Southeastern Louisiana region. This study will be used to track COVID-19 vaccine completion among patients who seek testing, either as in-person or purchasing at home COVID testing, from pharmacies, urgent cares and clinics using a rapid vaccine education model delivered at the point of care.
The purpose of the study is to assess the effectiveness of the HALT COVID Ambassador educational outreach program on increasing likelihood to vaccinate against COVID-19
This study aims to increase uptake of the COVID booster vaccine through messaging informed by Construal Level Theory. Patients in the Mass General Brigham (MGB) health system aged 18 and older who are eligible for the COVID booster vaccine, but who have not yet received a dose at the time of an upcoming primary care clinic visit, will be randomized to one of three messaging arms: 1) "why" messaging, 2) "how" messaging, or 3) standard of care ("usual care"). Messages will be sent via the electronic patient portal a few days in advance of their office visit. The primary outcome will be the rate of booster vaccination at the targeted visit. The secondary outcome will be the rate of receipt of a COVID booster vaccine within 6 weeks of the targeted visit. Subgroup analyses to assess for any association of patient characteristics with intervention responsiveness will be exploratory.
Hong Kong Chinese speaking men who have sex with men completed a baseline survey, and then received an online intervention promoting uptake of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. All participants are followed up by telephone 12 months after the completion of baseline survey.
This proposal seeks to enhance uptake and completion of COVID-19 vaccination among African American and Latinx public housing residents in South Los Angeles. Given the multiple disparities experienced by public housing residents, the investigators will utilize a theoretically-based, multidisciplinary and culturally tailored intervention to provide education at multiple levels and implement innovate strategies to engage this population in the uptake of COVID-19 vaccination.
Subjects enrolled in this study are eligible for the seasonal influenza vaccine. The purpose of this research study is to figure out if increasing individuals' awareness of the benefits of herd immunity, specifically to the local pediatric oncology community, can improve vaccination uptake rates.
The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a tool designed to help parents make decisions about childhood vaccines.
The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences and perceptions of District VI pediatric clinicians on parental vaccine hesitancy and vaccine refusal.
