About this study

Official title: Developing a Computer-based Intervention That Provides Individually-tailored Educational Information for MMR Vaccine-hesitant Parents

The goal of this study is to determine whether a computer-based intervention that delivers individually-tailored educational messages about the MMR vaccine increases MMR vaccine-hesitant parents' intentions to have their children vaccinated.

Read the detailed description

This will be a randomized controlled intervention trial for MMR vaccine-hesitant parents of children ages six years and younger who have not yet received the MMR vaccine. Parents will complete a three-item measure that assesses their baseline intentions for having their children vaccinated with MMR. Participants will then fill out a short, computer-based survey that assesses demographic factors, prior experience with MMR, and views about a variety of potential barriers to MMR vaccination. Following the survey, the intervention group (40 parents) will view a series of tailored educational messages resembling web pages that uses their survey data to address at an individual level their specific concerns about the MMR vaccine. The control group (40 parents) will view a series of generic educational messages resembling web pages that is similar in appearance to the intervention, but contains only untailored information about the vaccine. After navigating through these educational messages, MMR vaccination intention will be reassessed using the same three-item measure as for the baseline assessment of vaccination intention. The vaccine administration records of the children of these parents will be accessed after parents' participation in the study to assess whether the MMR vaccine was provided to the child.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Behavioral: Computer-based tailoring systemOther

    Both the intervention and control groups will use a computer-based tailoring system to respond to survey questions. The computer-based tailoring system will generate educational messages based on participants' responses to survey questions. The intervention group will receive tailored educational messages, whereas the control group will receive generic educational messages. The tailored and generic educational messages will be presented as to look like web pages. However, the messages will only exist on the study computer, and will not be linked to any "live" server or website.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Parent's intention to vaccinate child against MMR

    Parent will rate his/her intention to have child vaccinated against MMR using a Likert scale before and after the intervention.

    Measured: Date of intervention (one day)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Use of the intervention

    We will assess the number of pages viewed and time spend per page for each participant viewing the intervention.

    Measured: At the time of intervention participation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Behavioral: Computer-based tailoring system in people with Measles and Mumps, run by University of Michigan at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Parent's intention to vaccinate child against MMR (time frame: Date of intervention (one day)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Dec 2014.
