About this study

Official title: Use of a Novel Parent-Report Measure to Improve Childhood Vaccine Uptake: The Screening for Hesitancy to Optimize Talk (SHOT) Study

The overall goal of this project is to determine whether integrating a novel parent-report measure of vaccine hesitancy into pediatric primary care is effective in improving acceptance of childhood vaccines among vaccine-hesitant parents.

Read the detailed description

The primary goal of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of an innovative intervention designed to address these barriers-the Screening for Hesitancy to Optimize Talk (SHOT) intervention-in improving provider-parent vaccine discussions and increasing vaccine acceptance. The SHOT intervention involves administering a validated parent-report measure to parents and communicating their score and item-specific responses to their child's provider before their child's 2 and 6 month health supervision visits. The survey contains 15 questions regarding Health Belief Model concepts that influence parent vaccination behavior and has been shown to predict under-immunization.

Our specific aims are to (1) evaluate the impact of the SHOT intervention on a child's immunization status using a matched-pair, cluster randomized controlled trial design; (2) assess how parents' ratings of their vaccine discussions with their child's provider change as a function of the SHOT intervention; and (3) compare pre- and post-study perceptions of barriers to quality vaccine discussions with parents between providers in the SHOT and control arm.

What is being measured

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

  1. Child's Mean Percent Days Under-immunized

    Mean percent days under-immunized among children of parents who received (vs. did not receive) the intervention

    Measured: Child's immunization status at 8 months of age

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Parents With a Highly Rated Visit Experience

    Score on a 15-item parent-completed visit experience survey (minimum score 15; maximum score 105, with higher scores suggesting a higher rated visit experience)

    Measured: 24-48 hours after the 6 month health supervision visit

  2. Provider Perceptions of Barriers to the Vaccine Discussion

    Provider-reported ratings of the significance of 3 barriers to the vaccine discussion: a) not having enough time to discuss parental vaccine concerns, b) not realizing until late in the visit that a parent had vaccine concerns, and c) not understanding a parent's specific vaccine concerns to be barriers pre- and post-intervention

    Measured: Change post-intervention from pre-intervention
